Amendment
with
Coastal

at
300
Northern

and
has
an
adjacent
land
area
of
approximately
1
688
square

Staff
is
recommending
a
licensed
agreement
to
allow
Coastal
to
use
approximately
2500
square
feet
of
land
on

because
Coastal

and
as

Coastal
Marine

staff

Thank

Number
three
request
authorization
to
extend
the
tentative
designation
status
of
amaresco
Inc
for
the
ER
rights,
lease
and
development
of
a
solar,
photovoltaic
canopy
above
the
parking
garage
located
at
12
Dry
Dock
Avenue
within
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
Marine
Park
Dennis.
E
Thank
you.
Mr
chairman,
the
udic
owned
parking
garage
is
located
on
in
the
river
Nelson
Marine
Park
on
dry
up
Avenue.
The
roof
of
the
garage
is
ideally
suited
for
a
photovoltaic
array
of
solar
panels.
As
we
found
another
I
do
its
full
exposure
to
Natural
assembly.
Do
you
issued
an
RFP
for
a
solar
area
of
a
group
of
the
garage
and
mlsco
Creek
was
avoided
designation
in
July
of
2021.
E
The
resolution
was
extended
in
April
this
year
and
announced
hires
on
October
31st
the
intentions
to
play
solar
arrays
along
the
top
floor
of
the
parking
space,
the
top
four
of
the
parking
garage
to
capture
his
sunlight
without
using
any
of
the
parking
spaces.
So
the
erasing
the
older
hyper
spaces,
BPA
Staffing
and
the
rest
of
our
finalizing
the
details
of
the
VCR
and
the
Trump
shoot
and
we're
working
collectively
with
the
organ
designed
to
establish
appropriate
landscaping
and
fencing
properly
concealed
the
land-based
value
storage.
E
So
the
solar
panels
will
be
on
the
roof
without
electricity
stored
in
channel
fattings
on
the
on
the
ground
and
we're
working
to
to
make
those
as
appealing
as
possible
problems.
And,
ladies
and
working
day,
probably
during
the
designation
extension,
he
used
app
will
finalize
the
lease
term
in
the
urban
landscape
required
for
storage
and
Alaska
was
working
with
vertex
Pharmaceuticals
to
purchase
most
of
the
electricity
produce,
which
will
work
toward
the
City
of
Austin
zero
net
battle
walls.
It
will
also
do
also
keep
working
with
other
source.
E
E
It
was
all
that
in
mind
we're
requesting
an
extension
of
detected
resignation
through
April
30
to
2023.
At
this
point,
we
expect
the
Urban
Design
these
challenge
in
the
coordination
of
episodes
to
be
resolved
and
I
look
forward.
A
There
any
questions
on
the
board,
seeing
none.
What's
the
pleasure
of
the
board,
so
moved
second
motion
made
and
seconded
Mr
landmark
all
right:
Mr,
Miller,
aye
and
I
voted
with
the
motion
as
well.
Thank
you.
Dennis
number,
four
request:
authorization
to
extend
the
tentative
designation
status
of
the
Cronin

LLC
to
facilitate
Redevelopment
of
24
dry.
F
E
You
Australia
as
a
result
of
a
previous
RFP
OMD
broadcasting.
Coronary
development
is
important.
Sensitive
designation
for
the
development
in
2019.
24th
Bible
displays
to
Northeast
Super
Bowl
or
more
probably,
Boston
should
be
there
in
this
part
of
the
dried
up
limiting
premises
which
is
operated
by
Boston
certificate
in
2020
foreign.
E
Construction
lay
down
space
and
that's
the
way
that
case
do
you
think
we
had
previously
negotiated
with
new
Sprint
Capital,
the
former
audit
that
we
deal
with
retain
50
of
the
rent
agencies
back
to
the
ship
repair
company
to
be
used
exclusively
for
Capital
Affairs
in
the
Boston
shipway
North
Mississippi
also
has
a
facility
in
Philadelphia.
E
You
know
any
any
Revenue
has
returned
to
them
exclusively
in
Boston
colonialism
agreed
to
that
to
commit
those
funds
to
to
diabetes
as
well
as
has
operated
on
March
21
I
mean
you
should
be
out
according
process
towards
economic
we're.
Now
they
will
be
seeing
more
about
that
later.
At
the
Boston
Red
dominant
part
of
the
year
and
according
to
see,
Final
Destination
must
show
evidence
of
financing
building
Finance
in
hand
in
the
completion
of
the
operating
process.
E
Before
staff
will
request
to
find
resignation,
we're
very
optimistic,
a
very
high
degree
problems
that
that
will
happen,
I'm,
giving
the
unstable
Capital
markets,
funniest
incidents,
negotiations
to
the
primary
real
estate
developer,
to
provide
additional
equity
and
development
expertise,
so
we'll
be
discussing
a
partnership
as
that
involves
in
the
future
as
well.
The
resolution
scenes
are
ongoing
and
will
be
presented
to
the
Board
of
Education
leader
in
the
meantime,
we'll
requesting
approval
to
extend
the
technical
designation
upon
development
through
April,
23,
2023
and
I
look
forward
to
returning
in
the
spring.
G
Of
the
board
so
moved,
we
should
prove
this.
A
Hope
we
just
continue
to
work
with
them
is
a
big
opportunity
there,
not
only
that
the
original
infrastructure
build
that
passed
the
bipartisan
one
of
the
past,
some
opportunities
to
redevelop
that
into
a
working
operation
down
there
to
give
it
some
real
jobs.
You
know,
but
I
know
we'll
have
another
opportunity
to.
E
Talk
about
we're
all
very
excited
about
that,
and
Pauline
is
working
very
closely
with
us
to
there's
a
good
balance
between
the
developments
and
the
shipyard
operations.
A
Number
five
request:
authorization
to
execute
a
second
design
contract
Amendment
with
STV
Incorporated
for
additional
construction,
Administration,
providing
additional
construction
inspector
services
for
the
roadway
and
streetscape
improvements
to
Northern
Avenue
within
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
Marine
back
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
seventy
five
thousand.
Eight
nine.
J
J
They
are
the
designer
and
engineer
record
for
the
Northern
Avenue
Mobility
project
that
is
currently
under
construction
here
in
the
Marine
Park,
and
the
project
was
last
before
you
in
June
of
this
past
year,
request
an
authorization
for
the
first
initial
Amendment
to
that
contract,
whereby
we
increase
the
contract
value
by
about
55
000,
bringing
it
to
a
total
contract
amount
of
about
284
000..
This
engineering
contract
is
in
the
construction,
Administration
and
field
oversight
phase.
J
It
needs
to
be
amended
to
increase
the
contract
value
by
another
75
000
to
allow
for
the
continued
full-time
inspection
by
STD
of
the
construction
work
that
is
currently
underway
by
Newport
construction.
The
resulting
amended
total
contract
amount
will
be
about
360
thousand
dollars.
This
amount
includes
the
total
design
engineering
permitting
stakeholder
coordination,
construction,
Administration
field
oversight
and
Resident
engineering
service,
and
it
comes
to
about
14
of
the
total
construction
value.
So
pretty
reasonable
and
consistent
Within
These
two
standards.
J
J
This
additional
amount
has
been
appropriately
budgeted
for
in
the
current
FY
23
capital
budget,
and
with
that
we
are
requesting
the
director
of
the
authorized
to
amend
this
contract
a
second
time
with
STD,
as
described
and
I'm,
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Email.
A
J
Thanks
again,
as
stated,
we're
looking
for
authorization
to
issue
an
invitation
for
bids
for
the
12
Channel
Street
stairwell
pressurization
project,
this
one
was
last
before
you
also
in
June
of
this
past
year,
where
we
saw
authorization
to
amend
our
design
contract
with
Studio
A
they're,
the
architect
for
the
project
and,
as
you
may
recall,
the
project
was
looking
to
install
a
pressurized
stairwell.
So
we
have
a
smoke-free
egress
system
in
the
event
of
the
building
fire,
as
well
as
safe
passage
for
the
firefighters.
If
so
needed.
J
The
bid
package
has
been
produced
by
Studio
A
and
it
will
be
advertised
following
chapter
149
requirements.
The
Construction
contract
would
be
awarded
to
the
lowest,
responsive
and
responsible
bidder,
after
a
course
being
brought
back
for
the
board
for
approval.
The
current
estimate
from
the
design
team
is
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars.
We
have
included
that
in
the
current
fy23
capital
budget
and
I
would
anticipate
returning
to
the
board
in
January
with
the
record
station
for
report.
J
A
Have
thank
you
William.
Are
there
any
questions,
seeing
none?
What's
the
pleasure
of
the
board
so
moved
second
motion
made
and
seconded
Dr
landsmark
aye,
Mr,
Miller,
bye
and
I'm
voting
with
the
motion
as
well.
Thank
you
William.
Thank
you
very
much
number
seven
request
authorization
to
amend
the
economic
development,
Industrial
Corporation
of
Boston's
residency
policy,
Mike.
K
K
Since
June
of
this
year,
a
bpda
has
been
averaging
nearly
30
posted
and
vacant
positions
per
week,
including
these
vacancies
are
both
front
line
positions
in
our
planning,
Urban,
Design
development
review,
real
and
real
estate
departments,
as
well
as
important
administrative
support
roles
across
the
agency
that
are
critical
to
supporting
the
agency's
mission.
While
we've
made
significant
progress
since
the
summer
bringing
on
new
staff
and
have
been
very
excited
to
welcome
any
new
hires
to
our
team,
some
roles
still
remain
hard
to
fill.
K
This
modification
to
the
policy
will
help
us
broaden
the
prospective
talent
pool
to
attract
the
best
qualified
applicants,
hire
them
quickly
and
give
them
a
flexible
period
of
time
to
find
adequate
housing
in
the
city.
Importantly,
this
policy
still
makes
residency
a
requirement
for
permanent
positions
on
our
team.
Within
six
months
of
hire,
employees
will
be
required
to
establish
residency
within
the
city
and
benefit
for
being
constituent
of
the
city
they
serve.
K
In
addition,
we
are
proposing
this
change
for
a
one-year
pilot
evaluation
period
and,
during
this
pilot
period,
we'll
make
a
determination
as
to
whether
or
not
this
had
an
impact
on
reducing
the
number
of
vacancies
in
our
team
and
whether
it
should
continue.
Thank
UNM
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.

you.

request
authorization
to
adopt
the
Western,
Avenue
Colorado
study
and
rezoning
plan
for
future
development,
public
realm
and
transportation
improvements
within
the
Western
Avenue
car.
With
a
study
in
the
zoning
plan,
study
area
for
zoning
amendments,
Urban,
Design
guidelines
and
transportation
improvements,
Kathleen.
N
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
Monahan
members
of
the
board
and
secretary
pohimus
I'm,
going
to
be
giving
this
presentation
on
both
item
five,
which
is
the
Western
Avenue
quarter,
rezoning
study
plan
as
well
as
item
six,
which
would
be
authorization
to
petition
the
zoning
commission
for
zoning
changes
to
both
the
text
of
article
51
and
the
zoning
map
coming
out
of
this
plan.
So
we'll
go
through
those
two
together,
but
they
are
two
different
action
items
for
you
here
tonight.
N
Next
slide,
please
the
Western
Avenue
Corridor
rezoning
study
or,
as
we
fondly
call
it
wackers
as
a
planning
effort
in
a
in
this
area
outlined
in
Orange
in
the
Austin
Brighton
area.
And
as
you
see,
this
is
an
area
that,
over
the
last
two
decades
has
had
a
significant
amount
of
planning
and
a
significant
amount
of
development.
N
However,
the
current
zoning
of
the
Wacker
Z
area
itself
and
those
Parcels
does
not
support
a
Community
Vision
that
we've
heard
clearly
as
part
of
those
other
planning
efforts,
as
well
as
in
our
community
efforts
of
more
housing
and
jobs,
Community,
retail,
active
sidewalks
and
open
space
and
improved
transportation,
and
so
that's
been
one
of
the
most
important
parts
of
why
we
moved
to
make
this
plan
was
aligning
the
zoning
with
unity.
Vision
next
slide,
please.
N
The
second
part
is
the
significant
development
pressure
in
this
Corridor
and
the
importance
of
having
a
plan
that
will
really
guide
and
Lead
that
development.
So,
as
you
see
here,
this
is
just
highlighting
projects
that
have
either
come
before
you
and
have
been
approved
or
are
under
review
and
may
come
before
you
in
the
area.
But
this
planning
effort
really
seeks
to
seek
to
guide
those
and
establish
a
framework
for
growth
in
this
quarter.
Next
slide,
please.
N
This
planning
process
began
before
the
pandemic
in
December
2019,
with
a
series
of
in-person
meetings,
walk
shocks
and
walking,
and
bike
tours
include
significant
analysis,
including
collection
on
parking
data
that
quickly
emerged
as
a
in-depth
analysis
topic
throughout
we've,
because
this
is
an
area
where
the
both
the
transportation
and
other
development
pressures
really
straddle.
Cambridge
and
Watertown.
K
N
N
The
Hiatus
for
the
pandemic
then
picked
back
up
in
a
more
virtual
form
where
we
began
to
work
through
an
Urban,
Design
framework,
real
estate,
analysis
and
land
use
scenarios
then
took
some
real,
deep
Dives
based
on
topics
that
had
emerged
as
key
priorities
in
the
community
process
on
affordable
housing,
sustainability
and
arts
and
culture
policy
based
on
work
done
with
our
colleagues
at
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture,
then
it
moved
into
refining
recommendations
for
for
Zoning,
for
Urban
Design
and
for
housing,
and
particularly
in
transportation,
thoughts
about
a
Transit
way
and
improvements
that
could
happen
on
Western
Avenue
itself.
N
This
summer
we
released
a
draft
plan
and
have
had,
as
you
see,
by
those
close
orange
lines
together
on
this
timeline.
A
really
intense
series
of
public
engagement
touch
points
with
the
community.
It
became
our
weekly
Wacker
Z
as
we
like
to
call
it
to
really
get
to
a
refined
plan
and
something
that
we're
comfortable,
bringing
forward
to
you
here
today
for
adoption.
As
well
next
slide,
please
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
touching
on
that
overall
framework.
N
You
know
the
public
realm
and
environmental
performance
and
that
breathe
and
adapt
category
and
connect
and
move
really
thinking
about
Transportation
our
multimodal
access,
but
also
the
importance
of
cross
neighborhood
connections
towards
the
river
and
live
and
work
that
we're
thinking
about
a
mix
of
land
uses
and
getting
guidelines
that
will
get
us.
The
diversity
of
building
shapes
and
a
thriving
community
and
I
create
that
we're
really
building
on
the
efforts
of
the
Austin,
Brighton
Arts
culture
and
place.
N
Keeping
efforts
that
that
aforementioned
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
did
in
order
to
make
sure
we're
really
getting
those
arts
and
performance
opportunities
and
flexible
and
diverse
spaces.
Next
slide.
Please,
as
we
dig
into
the
plan
recommendations,
what
that
framework
means
at
a
broad
level
is
concentrating
mixed
use
at
higher
densities
and
two
key
nodes
where
they'd
be
located
near
other
higher
levels
of
activity
and
transit
services.
N
Next
slide,
please
just
as
important
as
the
work
of
the
Urban
Design
guidelines
and
setting
out
that
public
space.
You
know
in
public
realm
framework
and
connections,
and
so
you
see
here
in
illustration
of
how
we
have
identified
key
connective
corridors
and
places
for
streetscape
improvements
and
connections
to
the
river
areas.
That
would
be
important
for
new
open
space
to
be
delivered
as
part
of
Redevelopment
and
how
all
of
those
fit
together
into
a
framework
that
works
across
the
study
area
and
also
connects
to
key
institutions
like
Library
park
within
all
student
writing.
N
Next
slide,
please.
Finally,
there's
the
connect
and
move
section
and
the
transportation
recommendation.
So
this
lays
out-
and
you
see
these
teal
dotted
line
a
framework
for
a
new
Street
and
public
right-of-way
connections
as
Redevelopment
occurs.
That
will
allow
us
both
to
provide
access
to
Parcels
but
also
needed
loading
as
sort
of
parcels,
May
redevelop,
and
so
that
framework
is
here
in
this
plan,
so
that
there's
sort
of
key
predictability
for
all
parties.
N
It
also
includes
significant
recommendations
along
Western
Avenue
itself
for
a
low
stress
Bikeway,
as
well
as
the
trans
away
concept
that
we'll
explain
in
further
detail
and
then
another
opportunity
for
the
strong
transportation
to
manage
demand
management
that
we
strive
for.
In
all
of
our
development
review
being
particularly
important
as
we
look
at
this
Corridor
and
the
framework
we've
laid
out
here
next
slide,
please-
and
so
you
know
what
that
means
in
the
Western
Avenue.
N
Improvements
in
this
area
is
that
in
the
short
term,
the
move
towards
installing
a
low
stress,
Bikeway,
the
transit
way,
would
take
the
form
of
dedicated
space
for
bus
travel
along
the
border
and
new
dedicated
stations
as
part
of
bus
stops,
as
well
as
the
close
look
at
parking
ratios
provided
in
new
development
planning
for
parking
loading
and
curbside
use
strategies
along
Western
Avenue
as
part
of
the
planning
for
transportation
improvements,
as
well
as
broader
TDM.
The
transportation
demand
management
next
slide.
N
Please,
and
so
I
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
feedback
and
the
moments
that
sort
of
it
changed
as
part
of
the.
Since
the
draft
plan
was
released,
July
27th
there
were
four
listening
sessions.
Two,
you
know
virtual
two
in
person,
including
what
has
to
be
one
of
the
most
fun
public
meetings
that
we've
had
lately
getting
to
hang
out
outside
on
a
lovely
August
evening,
an
informational
zoning
meeting.
N
You
know
close
collaboration
with
the
numerous
groups
in
Alston
Brighton
that
have
submitted
emails
and
letters
that
I
know
are
included
in
your
packet
as
a
public
meeting
and
a
zoning
hearing,
as
well
as
a
closeout
meeting
on
September
next
slide.
Please
a
lot
of
feedback
and
I
think
this
is
evident
in
the
packets
that
you've
received
touch
on
items
that
are
very
exciting
and
great
topics
for
broader
planning
and
for
implementation
in
the
Border
I'm,
including
our
need
for
ongoing
collaboration
with
DCR
and
the
MBTA
to
implement
the
plan.
N
But
we
did
also
receive
feedback
on
topics
directly
into
the
wackerson
plan
that
we
made
changes
to
the
plan
in
response
to
including
around
block
coverage
density,
Building
height,
an
affordability
incentive
that
is
in
the
zoning
recommendations
and
providing
great
more
details
in
the
plan
on
priorities
for
affordable
and
Fair
Housing
and
Community
benefits.
So
as
I
walk
through
these
more
technical
components
of
the
plan,
recommendations
I'm
going
to
highlight
those
areas
where
we
view
changes
based
on
community
feedback.
Next
slide.
N
Please,
and
so
these
are
the
sort
of
three
key
implementation
areas
that
we
have.
The
mobility
recommendations.
The
Urban
Design
guidelines
and
Zoning
recommendations
next
slide,
so
in
Mobility
on
September
6th,
the
mayor
announced
that
Western
Avenue,
based
on
the
planning
that
we've
done
here,
was
included
in
a
release
of
a
broader
program
to
build
low
stress
bike
waves.
N
N
The
next
piece
for
implementation
is
the
the
transit
way,
and
so
that
study
to
really
look
beyond
the
concept
plan.
That
is
included
in
our
our
planning
document
here
today
to
really
evaluate
right
and
design
at
a
transportation
engineering
level.
What
the
transit
bank
would
look
like
and
as
part
of
the
Harvard
ERC
phase
a
project
mitigation
that
included
a
dedication
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
fund
that
study,
and
so
we're
currently
drafting
an
RFP.
N
Dcr
May
propose
to
Soldier
Field
Road,
it's
a
broader
neighborhood,
roadway
circulation,
vehicle
access,
the
need
for
ongoing
coordination
with
those
State
and
other
local
Partners,
so
I
think
that's
we're
excited
that
this
is
a
chance
to
really
carry
forward
our
implementation
of
this
plan
and
make
those
recommendations
more
real
and
more
rigorous
with
all
of
these
other
partners
next
slide.
N
Please
next
piece
of
implementation
is
a
strong
set
of
Urban
Design
guidelines
that
are
included
in
the
plan
and
that
we
would
use
as
part
of
article
80
design
review
on
any
project
coming
forward.
So
those
include
recommendations
for
site
design,
block
coverage.
How
we
treat
parking
next
slide,
please,
as
well
as
building
Heights
and
density
and
rooftop
Mechanicals
for
for
lab
buildings,
and
we
have
to
go
here
in
our
zoning
section.
We
were
able
to
advance
a
lot
of
strong
thinking
and
work
by
our
colleagues,
particularly
Matt
Martin
in
the
Urban
Design
Department.
N
To
think
about
how
we
approach
lab
rooftop
Mechanicals
is
a
unique
design
feature
and
something
that
we're
having
to
regulate
in
blockers
throughout
the
city.
Next
slide,
please
that
Urban
Design
section
also
really
focuses
on
the
public
realm,
including
that
that
can
that
framework
we've
laid
out
about
connecting
to
the
river
and
thinking
about
the
sizing
and
the
programming
and
the
sustainability
and
resilience
of
spaces
that
would
get
delivered
during
development
next
slide.
Please.
N
The
plan
also
includes
zoning
and
including
guidelines
that
exist
within
the
plan
itself,
as
well
as
the
the
technical
zoning
amendments
to
article
51.
1.
So
at
a
core
level.
This
is
that
Basic
Land
Use
framework
we've
laid
out
on
a
predominantly
in
use,
really
being
multi-family
residential
and
really
focusing
commercial
development
and
lab
development
to
limited
extents,
where
we
know
they
will
be
by
transit
services
appropriate
next
slide.
Please.
N
N
Those
are
in
place
in
order
to
either
provide
a
connection
to
provide
setback
for
the
transit
Bay
along
Western,
Avenue
or
transitway
facilities,
or
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
adequate
space
to
really
build
excellent
streetscapes
and
complete
streets
that
help
us
achieve
the
overall,
multimodal
and
Urban
Design
vision
of
the
area
next
slide.
Please
next
thing
is
lock
coverage.
N
We
really
thought
about
lock
coverage
as
an
important
component
of
enforcing
that
green
Network
and
the
importance
we
heard
from
the
community
of
ensuring
we're
getting
tree,
canopy
and
impervious
spaces
throughout,
and
so
what,
as
we
see
smaller
parcels
and
higher
levels
of
pedestrian
activity
near
the
berries
Corner,
we
have
higher
levels
of
lot
coverage
that
allowed
in
the
broader
area
of
the
study.
N
One
update
that
we
did
make
based
on
feedback
from
the
community
is
that
we,
this
used
to
include
80,
lock
coverage
for
sort
of
all
areas
from
Riverdale
Street
to
Barry's
corner,
and
when
we
really
took
a
look
at
the
form
of
development
and
the
adjacency
of
potential
development
to
other
lower
scale.
Residential
Properties,
we
were
able
to
make
a
change
to
change
that
to
70
law
coverage
for
areas
south
of
Bertram's
feet,
based
on
the
feedback
of
the
public
and.
N
The
plan
also
includes
a
broad
density
framework,
and
this
framework
establishes
the
two
levels
of
density
for
the
nodes.
So
in
those
areas,
commercial
far
would
be
limited
to
3.5
and
that's
the
sort
of
far
that
is
the
the
base
maximum
far
for
the
area
and
then
for
residential
properties.
As
parts
of
a
residential
affordability
incentive,
there
be
a
bonus
based
on
increasing
amounts
of
IDP
achievable
up
to
an
far
of
4.25
another
change.
N
N
Please,
the
final
piece
of
the
zoning
recommendation,
that's
included
in
the
plan
is
height,
and
so
this
is
a
comes
directly
out
of
some
of
the
work
our
Urban
Design
colleagues
have
done
in
thinking
about
the
appropriateness
of
height
and
balancing
the
push
and
pull
of
where
height
can
go,
avoiding
too
much
height
along
Western
Avenue,
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
feeling
like
a
canyon
and
concentrating
height
in
places
where
we
think
that
we'll
have
the
the
best
positive
impact
that
minimize
negative,
and
so
it's
another
place
where,
based
on
that
public
feedback,
we
were
able
to
reduce
height
for
the
area
south
of
spur
and
Bertram
Street,
where
there
was
a
lot
of
concern
about
adjacency
to
lower
scale,
Residential
Properties
and
also
increase
height
north
of
that
area.
N
N
There
are
tiers
that
are
set
up
by
far
and
they
are
correlated
with
a
percentage
of
IDP,
measured
based
on
residential
square
footage
and
that's
responding
to
the
fair
housing
need
in
the
area,
as
well
as
Community
desire
for
more
IDP
units
to
be
larger
scale
units
with
more
bedrooms
in
order
to
make
sure
we're
serving
larger
household
sizes
and
Families,
and
that
those
would
then
be
affordable
to
households.
Averaging
60
am
I
again
another
fair
housing
goal,
making
sure
we're
reaching
to
lower
Amis
as
possible.
N
We
have
copied
that
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
is
currently
under
conducting
a
study
to
really
evaluate
the
IDP
program
and
take
it
into
inclusionary
zoning,
and
you
know,
the
goal
of
that
study
is
to
come
up
with
the
best
possible
IDP
program
for
the
city
and
pending
the
results
of
that
study,
we
would
look
to
evaluate
this
and
update
this
affordability
bonus
to
line
up
with
what
mayor
of
housing
recommends
next
slide.
N
Please
and
then
you
know,
we
added
additional
narrative
really
based
in
some
great
comments
from
the
community,
about
the
importance
of
making
sure
we
were
really
capturing
their
feedback
and
the
detail
that
they
provided
throughout
this
planning
process.
Next
slide,
please
now
into
the
zoning
changes
in
item
six.
I
just
want
to
highlight
it
in
the
sort
of
map.
There
are
a
number
of
sort
of
three
existing
overlays.
The
coastal
flood
overlay
shown
in
that
blue
here.
N
The
green
Pelt
protection
overlay
along
soldiersfield
Road
and
the
neighborhood
Design
District,
the
unchanged
by
any
of
these
changes,
continue
to
regulate
the
form
that
they
do
throughout
the
city
in
their
overlay
form.
Next
slide,
most
of
the
areas
currently
PDA
eligible
as
part
of
the
Western
Avenue
Soldiers
Field,
Road,
CC1
or
cc4
District,
there's
also
institutional.
You
know
property
that
is
part
of
the
Harvard
imp
for
sending
development
roles,
as
well
as
the
local
industrial
property
that
you
see
there
near
the
Boston
Landing
node.
O
N
So
when
we
then
went
to
go,
look
and
dig
deeper
into
this
map
and
the
teal
here
you
see
the
Western
Avenue
Corridor
study.
We
discovered
that
this
sort
of
set
of
nine
Residential
Properties
on
Antwerp
Street
had
been
included
in
the
local
industrial
zoning,
even
though
that
doesn't
match
their
existing
use
and
they're,
not
something
that
we've
planned
for
redevelopment.
N
So
as
a
map
cleanup,
we're
bringing
before
you
taking
those
properties
out
of
the
local
industrial
here
and
adding
them
to
the
three
out
of
4
000
residential
Zone,
that
the
is
appropriate
to
the
scale
of
the
property
is
in
contiguous,
the
rest
of
so
next
slide.
So
those
would
then
go
to
residential
next,
please.
N
There
are
also
properties,
primarily
areas
that
have
been
assembled
under
common
property
ownership
and
used
as
part
of
commercial
property,
fronting
Western
Avenue
as
parking,
lots
or
storage
that
are
currently
in
that
three
out
four
thousand
Zone,
and
that
we've
planned
for
for
redevelopment
as
part
of
this
effort
and
so
we'd
be
moving
them
into
that
base.
Cc1
District
next
slide
next
slide.
N
Then
after
we've
sort
of
made
those
sort
of
key
changes,
the
local
industrial
comes
to
CC1.
It
would
be
added
to
the
areas
that
are
PDA
eligible
through
Across,
the
Western,
Avenue
board
or
study,
and
then
we
would
create
three
new
PPA
eligible
zones
that
match
the
density
limits
that
we've
laid
out
of
this
plan
and
that
would
be
then
encoded
into
article
51.
1
slide.
N
So
what
that
means
is
article
51
would
now
have
three
new
districts:
the
Boston
Landing
CC
District,
the
Everett
Telford
CC
District
in
the
Barry's
corners
flood
and
then
in
the
text
of
the
zoning
ordinance.
Those
would
include
those
far
limits
by
use,
so
the
commercial
far
limit,
as
well
as
the
affordability
incentive,
as
as
achievable
for
a
PDA
next
slide.
N
N
So
this
does
Create
A
two
stage
process
for
changing
zoning.
It
really
quickly
advances
the
criteria
for
PDA
eligibility,
including
the
density
limits,
so
we've
established
the
plan
and
that
we
know
our
essential
and
Urgent.
Given
the
development
pressure
in
the
neighborhood
that
when
we
looked
at
making
changes
here
in
article
51,
we
found
the
potential
for
neighborhood-wide
or
city-wide
approaches
to
some
of
the
zoning
changes.
We'd
like
to
make
to
have
greater
impacts
like
such
as
defining
cultural
uses,
defining
lab
uses
limiting
rooftop
Mechanicals.
N
So
we're
excited
to
come
to
you
with
more
zoning
amendments
in
the
future
to
address
those
and
then
the
other
component
of
what
how
this
is
getting
encoded
is
to
avoid
sub-parcel
or
mini
spot
Zoning
for
height
and
other
features.
Given
the
level
of
detail
that
our
Urban
Design
Team
had
done
and
what
potential
build
out
might
look
like,
so
that
is
captured
in
the
plan
to
provide
guidance
there
as
well.
Next
slide.
N
N
But
one
change
that
we
are
making
is
in
article
51
table
B,
the
allowing
residential
use,
which
is
currently
a
conditional
use
as
a
allowed
use
for
Second,
Story
and
above
next
slide
and
highlighting
that
the
key
you
know,
components
of
lot
coverage,
maximum
setbacks
and
future
right-of-way
connections
height
the
specific
Guidance,
the
parking
maximums,
all
included
in
the
plan
and
are
directly
referenced
to
provide
guidance
for
pdas
and
article
80,
including
any
variances
that
may
come
through
the
article
80
process.
N
A
A
A
C
I'm
sorry
Mr
Monahan
Priscilla
is
back
so
she.
A
Yes,
so
Priscilla
I
know
you
would
just
running
a
little
late
there,
but
seeing
that
we're
on
this
one
I
do
six
and
you
take
over
from
them
sounds
like
a
plan.
Okay.
So
the
presentation
is
the
same
five
and
six
but
I'm
reading
this
into
the
record
request:
authorization
to
position
the
zoning
commission
to
adopt
text
and
map
amendments
which
would
make
substantial
changes
to
article
51,
also
Brighton,
neighborhood
district
and
map
7A,
7B,
7c
7D
and
map
7B
7D
in
response
to
the
Western
Avenue
Colorado
study
in
rezoning
plan.
G
I
I
have
one:
do
you
anticipate
any
challenges
in
actually
implementing
this.
N
In
implementing
the
zoning
changes,
yeah
I
I
think
that
we've
set
out
a
zoning
framework
that
is
clear
about
the
goals
of
the
plan
and
clear
about
expectations
to
really
set
up
planning
blood
development,
so
I
I
hope
that
will
be
successful
and
I.
You
know,
as
we
highlight
I,
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
us
also
to
think
about
the
the
items
that
we
said
might
be
Citywide
amendments
as
being
a
challenge
and
an
opportunity
for
us
to
bring
those
forward.
A
A
Q
Thank
you
Kathleen.
So
all
right
item
number
seven

Thank
you
and
good
afternoon
Madam

I'm
Madam

Jemison.
My

is

Can
you
hear
me?
My
name
is
Mayor
Deanna,
the

and
the

I'm

today
on
behalf
of
the

and
Deputy
Chief
of
Urban
Design
Diana
Fernandez
to
her.
V
V
Celebrate
differences
we
have
to
look
at
our
build
environment,
the
design
of
our
architecture,
sidewalks
streets,
public
spaces,
plantings
and
vegetation
and
art
which
service
indicators
of
belonging
and
affirmation.
What
story
does
the
Contemporary
landscape
of
Boston
tell?
Who
are
we
uplifting
with
our
built
environment
and
does
our
Civic
landscape
propagate
places
of
belonging
and
how
can
the
built
environment
embrace
the
multiplicity
of
Boston's
neighborhoods?
V
V
V
Consulting
services
and
expertise
will
be
needed
to
support
us
across
five
major
tasks,
which
are
one
benchmarking,
research,
two,
an
analysis
of
Boston's
design
for
vernacular.
V
Three
two
is
analysis
of
Austin's
design,
vernacular
and
kind
of
community
engagement
and
co-creating.
This
Vision
with
the
community
past
three
developing
the
design,
vision
and
design
typologies
and
then
task.
V
Four
and
five
is
really
figuring
out
what
the
implementation
roadmap
is,
and
what
does
this
mean
for
changing
for
affecting
how
we
think
about
design
through
the
city
and
our
processes
so
task,
one
as
I
said,
will
focus
on
benchmarking,
research,
we'll
focus
on
a
series
of
interviews
with
public
sector
and
Industry
leaders
and
Research
into
what
guides
design
of
other
municipalities
cast
two
will
focus
on
analysis
and
mapping
of
Boston's
task.
One
will
also
include
analysis:
mapping
of
Boston's
built
environment
from
historical
development
to
its
changing
population.
V
In
addition,
as
part
of
this,
we
will
include
an
assessment
of
current
design
processes
to
the
shape
the
building
environment,
with
a
particular
focus
on
BPA
and
City
processes
such
as
design
regulations
and
zoning
and
design
guidelines.
It
will
also
focus
on
potential
factors
that
contribute
to
an
equitable
and
homogenous
outcomes
in
our
built
environment.
V
Task
two
is
also
has
a
significant
component
that
will
focus
on
community
engagement
and
create
co-creation
of
this
Vision
with
the
community.
We
believe
that
Community
engagement
is
critical
to
developing
a
design
Vision
that
is
heterogeneous
in
nature.
The
vision
itself
will
only
be
effective.
It's
if
it's
deeply
rooted
in
Boston's
communities
and
affirms
kind
of
the
diversity
and
richness
of
Boston's
communities.
V
Task
three
is
developing
the
design
Vision
itself,
which
will
be
derived
from
this
community
engagement
and
an
analysis
of
Boston's
built
foreign
communities
and
then
tasks.
Four
and
five
will
be
really
focusing
on
this
implementation
roadmap,
which
is
thinking
about
the
ways
we
can
really
Advance
this
vision
through
our
processes
and
our
the
way
our
ways
we
kind
of
impact
design
in
the
built
environment.
This
could
range
from
anything
to
rethinking
how
we
think
about
design
guidelines
to
thinking
about
what
we
say
about
design
the
design
regulations
within
our
zoning.
V
V
Q
Any
questions
or
comments
from
before
I
do
have
one
question
so
excited
about
this,
but
there's
a
lot
of
components
here.
Do
we
do
we
think
that
this
is
a
a
single
one
consultant
that
does
all
of
this
or
or
or
multiple?
Q
You
know,
multiple
agencies,
first
question
and
then
the
second
question
is:
do
you
obviously
we're
gonna
go
through
the
RFP,
but
you
know:
do
we
have
these
type
of
consultants
and
vendors
here
within
the
Boston
area?
That
would
again
know
can
know
the
area
right
and
be
able
to
to
interact
with
with
our
various
communities.
V
So
the
first
question
to
answer
your
first
question:
I
do
think
it's
probably
a
team
of
consultants
and
given
the
types
of
expertise
that
are
required.
We
also
have
again,
you
know,
I,
think
in
within
our
internal
BPA
team.
We
have
like
GIS
Services.
We
have
enough.
We
have
a
great
deal
of
expertise
within
this,
so
we
really
see
this
being
a
team
effort.
But
yes,
it
is
I
will
be
a
Consulting
team,
probably
Community
engagement
experts,
Urban
designers,
Landscape,
Architects,
probably
abroad
range
and
then.
V
Secondly,
in
terms
of
the
expertise
we
have
I
think
you
know,
I
think
we
have
an
incredibly
strong
design
Community
locally,
and
this
could
be
something
you
know
again.
We
this
is
an
open
RFP.
It
could
be
see
many
possibilities
bringing
in
outside
experts
entirely
local
teams
like
it
could
be
accommodations,
I
think
there's
a
broad
range,
but
we
do
have
an
extremely
strong
design.
Community,
there's
value
in
having
outside
you
know,
perspectives
looking
at
a
kind
of
our
build
environment
fresh
but
I
think
it
could
go.
It
could
see
many
many
permutations.
W
And
I'm
just
going
to
jump
in
here
really
quick
to
support
Mira.
This
is
Diana
Fernandez,
Deputy,
Chief
of
Urban
Design
I.
Think
what's
really
exciting
about
this
Prospect
is
that
you
know
we
are
enabling
a
design
process
that
is
bottom
up
in
terms
of
enabling
communities
themselves
to
Define
what
design
Excellence
is
and
to
sort
of
enable
us
to
be
accountable
to
holding
upholding
that
Vision.
As
we
drive
broken
development
in
the
city.
X
Q
W
It
is
intended
to
go
out
as
as
one
RFP
and
to
be
comprised
of
a
team,
as
Mira
mentioned,
that
would
be
leading
that
process
and
sort
of
taking
on
these
tasks
over
the
span
of
the
the
timeline
of
the
RFP.
Q
Okay,
cool
cool
all
right,
any
other
questions
or
comments.
G
Can
you
elaborate
on
the
Dei
requirements
for
Staffing
this
process,
I
mean
historically,
we've
done.
Visioning
processes
and
teams
have
not
come
close
to
reflecting
the
diversity
of
the
city
and
the
people.
They're
working
with
so
we'd
like
to
see
some
changes,
and
could
you
just
comment
on
what
our
expectations
are
around
the
diversity
of
the
people?
Who
will
be
doing
this
work.
W
Absolutely
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
I
think
it's
a
utmost
importance
in
terms
of
leading
this
work
and
being
able
to
engage
directly
with
the
community.
So
as
we
evaluate
consultant
teams,
that's
certainly
one
of
the
criteria
where
we
will
be
looking
at
additionally.
I
think
something
that
is
critical
to
us
is
that
internally,
here
within
the
BPD,
as
we
manage
that
process,
it
is
being
led
with
the
sensitivity
to
the
communities
we're
working
in
and
ensuring
we
have
that
diversity
and
representation
on
our
team
as
well.
W
So
to
answer
your
question:
Mr
Landmark,
it's
both
internally
here
within
the
bpda
and
certainly
one
of
the
evaluation
criteria.
We
will
consider,
as
we
evaluate
evaluate
Consulting
teams.
W
Our
goal
is
to
embark
on
a
nine-month
process,
so
we
hope
to
be
coming
back
to
to
UL
sometime
that
fall
of
next
year,
so
around
October
of
next
year,
where
we're
back
to
you
all
with
a
really
exciting
vision
for
our
future,
that's
rooted
in
community
voice.
Thank.
T
P
Yeah
I
just
have
one
question:
maybe
you
could
help
me
with
this.
So
when
we
look
around
Boston
a
lot
of
the
neighborhoods
have
different
character.
You
know
that
you're
in
Jamaica
Plain
or
the
North
End,
and
a
lot
of
the
proposals
that
come
before
us.
It
might
be
replacing
a
two-story
traditional
housing
with
you
know
a
four-story,
more
condo
complex
and,
in
my
opinion,
A
lot
of
them.
W
Absolutely
so
I
think.
The
importance
of
this
document
is
that
it's
to
help
us
sort
of
provide
a
guide
right
for
how
our
communities
see
beauty,
design,
Excellence
under
their
lens
and
what
those
physical
characteristics
are
that
Define
them
and
the
goal
here
is
to
not
necessarily
strap
ourselves
into
sort
of
a
particular
vernacular
or
our
identity,
but
to
be
able
to
enable
our
communities
to
have
a
little
bit
more
agency,
as
it
relates
to
being
able
to
advocate
for
materials
that
reflect
the
the
sort
of
design
characteristics
that
define
their
neighborhood.
W
So
I
think
that
our
goal
here
is
to
be
able
to
provide
more
rigor
and
predictability
to
development
teams
and
proponents
working
in
these
neighborhoods
in
terms
of
what's
most
important
to
neighborhoods.
That
goes
beyond
just
planning
conversations,
but
it's
on
zoning,
but
I
really
get
to
the
sort
of
physical
design
characteristics
that
are
equally
as
important.
Q
J
William,
thank
you
very
much
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
as
stated
I'm
here
before
each
request,
authorization
to
advertise
an
issue
request
for
proposals
to
prepare
a
qualified,
Maritime
engineering,
firm
to
inspect
success,
design
and
permit
improvements
to
purify
from
the
Charlestown
Navy
Yard.
This
pier
was
originally
constructed
by
the
U.S
military
back
in
1943,
which
is
during
World
War
II.
J
The
objective
of
this
particular
contract
is
to
perform
a
new
independent
assessment
and
evaluation
of
the
Cure
and
to
provide
construction
documents
to
repair
the
peer
to
a
suitable
for
Public
Access
primary
goal.
However,
it
will
be
a
complete
assessment
and
if,
for
some
reason,
repair
is
determined
to
be
and
feasible,
the
contract
would
also
provide
for
construction
documents
for
demolition
over
here.
So
we're
really
just
trying
to
figure
out
the
condition
of
the
peer
and
what
can
be
done
with
it.
J
The
resulting
engineering
contract
is
budgeted
at
250
000
cleansing
specifications
would
be
prepared
in
accordance
with
Chapter
30
39
M
of
the
Massachusetts
general
laws,
and
the
contract
would
also
include
permitting
bidding
assistance
resident,
Engineering
Services,
as
well
as
construction,
Administration
and
Community
engagement.
This
request
for
proposals
would
be
advertised
following
the
epa's
designer
selection
policy.
The
engineering
contract
would
be
awarded
to
the
top
ranked
engineer
through
a
qualifications
based
process,
after,
of
course,
being
brought
back
to
the
board
for
approving.
So
with
that
we're
requesting
authorization
from
the
secretary
to
issue.
This
request.

is
Nick
Schmidt

board
meeting
the

solicited
responses
to
the
request
for
proposals
for
the

Transportation
action
plans
and
I'm
here
today
to
recommend
a
consultant
team
for
your
approval.
Next
slide,
please!
Y
So,
as
noted
during
the
July
board
meeting,
the
action
plan
will
guide
the
transformation
of
multimodal
Transportation
networks
within
and
connecting
to
the
Fenway
neighborhood.
This
new
Transportation
Planning
and
design
initiative
in
the

is
needed
to
respond
to
the
areas
changing
context
which
includes

city-wide
planning
and

various
city
and
state
plans
and
projects
and

This
the
action
plan
will
address
four
primary
tasks:
planning
analysis,
design
and
engagement
generally.
Y
The
study
area,
as
you
see
here,
is
bounded
by
Charles

to
the

to
the
South
and
St

Please,
the
request
for
proposals
was
approved
for
release
by
the
board
at
the
July
14th
board
meeting
as
mentioned,
and
we
subsequently
issued
the
RFP
on
August
1st.
We
received
four
proposals
on
September,
2nd
and
in
alphabetical
order.
Those
respondents
included
Arab
Nelson,
Nygaard,
stantec
and
wsp.
Y
Selection
committee,
composed
of
bpda
Boston
transportation
department
and
Boston
Public
Works
Department
staff,
reviewed
these
proposals
and
conducted
interviews
with
each
respondent
team
between
September,
19th
and
21st,
and
so
the
selection
committee
unanimously
recommends
the
Nelson
Nygaard
team
to
provide
consultant
services
for
the
action
plan.
The
team
is
composed
of
Nelson
Nygaard
as

Associates
util
agency,
landscape
and
planning
and
Rivera
Consulting
agency
and
Rivera
are
both
women-owned
businesses
and
disadvantaged
business
enterprises.
Y
The
Nelson
Nygaard
team's
proposal
was
highly
advantageous,
based
on
their
substantial
knowledge
and
expertise
in
network
planning,
multimodal
analysis,
multimodal
design
and
community
and
stakeholder
engagement.
Team
has
built
a
strong
track
record
working
on
other
plans
and
projects
locally
in

This
project
was
subject
to
significant
scrutiny
from
the
public
elected
officials
at
dpda
and
City

due
to
its
prominent
location
at
the
intersection

Thanks
to
the
collaboration
of
all

Cedar

which,
along

I'd
like
to
now
turn
it
over
to
our
architect,
Beth
McDougall.
To
briefly
walk
you
through
the
building,
Beth
and
next
slide.
Please.
AE
Hi,
my
name
is
Beth
McDougall
and
I'm.
Looking
from
Google
Architects,
we
designed
this
building
for
various
issues.
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
building,
the
building
sits
at
the
corner
of
Bowden
and
Geneva,
and
so
what
we
have
done
is
we
have
designed
a
corner
of
the
building
as
a
focal
point,
with
the
retail
being
at
the
corner
on
the
ground
floor,
along
with
bicycle
storage
and
the
lobby,
and
then
the
nine
spaces
for
parking.
AE
The
plaza
at
the
corner
relates
to
the
intersection
and
then
we've
also,
if
you
look
at
Cedar
Ave,
which
will
go
up
to
Geneva
plus
we
have
provided
public
walkways.
That
could
then
be
further
extended.
All
the
way
up
to
the
cliffs
next
slide,
please.
AE
So,
on
our
ground
floor
plan,
which,
as
we
just
talked
about
the
corner,
there
has
the
plaza
the
bikes,
the
cars
and
the
lobby,
and
then
next
our
next
slide,
please.
So
this
is
a
typical
floor.
This
is
our
first
floor,
which
is
above
the
parking
garage.
We
have
seven
three
bedroom
units.
We
have
only
one
studio
in
the
building,
and
that
is
basically
because
we
have
a
walk.
We
have
a
access
to
the
back
area
at
the
top
of
the
plan
on
the
back
area.
AE
AE
Please-
and
you
can
see
here
as
the
balconies
are
all
recessed-
we
have
pushed
the
building
so
that
we
could
have
the
maximum
amount
of
Frontage,
but
we
also
have
the
maximum
amount
of
outdoor
green
space
in
the
back
included
with
the
green
space
are
items
you
know
for
barbecuing
and
Gatherings.
We
also
have
a
small
space
for
the
dogs,
so,
as
you
can
see
the
pointer,
there
is
the
retail
area
and
it
it
is
the
focal
point
of
the
building
next
slide.
Please.
AE
This
is
the
back
of
the
building,
which
you
would
actually
never
see
because
we're
using
green
grass,
it's
actually
all
trees.
We
did
not
put
them
in
the
rendering
just
so
you
can
see
the
rear
of
the
building,
but
the
rear
of
the
building
would
not
be
seen
going
through
the
park
because
the
trees
are
taller
than
the
actual
building
next
slide.
Please.
AE
This
is
the
looking
it.
You
know
the
left-hand
side.
Again,
we
have
balconies
recess
the
we
have
a
base
of
the
building
which
we
are
proposing.
A
polished
block,
the
metal
piece
of
the
building
will
be
a
terracotta,
and
then
the
upper
level
of
the
building
will
be
a
structured
metal
panel.
The
vertical
piece
on
the
left
hand
side,
that's
the
stairwell.
We
did
that
to
help
break
this
building
up.
AE
The
other
thing
we
did
was
we
stepped
this
building
back
from
the
base
that
sits
right
on
Bowden
to
help
mitigate
any
height
or
any
I.
Don't
know
bad
connotations
to
the
corner,
I
think
the
corner
of
the
building
and
where
it
sits
on
the
property
and
where
it
sits
with
regards
to
the
intersection
really
relates
to
the
area,
and
we
also
did
a
study
with
the
area
on
patterns
and
the
building
is
patterned
after
the
area.
On
Dimensions
next
slide,
please.
Q
Okay,
great
thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.

Thank
you,

petition
for
40
Trinity
Place
Trinity
Stewart
Development
LLC,
in
its
capacity
as
Trustee
of
the
Trinity
Steward
primary
condominium.
Trust
has
demolished
the
existing
building,
formerly
known
as
the
Boston
Common
Hotel
and
Conference
Center
at
Florida
Trinity
Place,
and
has
constructed
a
new
mixed-use
building
containing
approximately
three
three
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
square
feet
of
Rose
floor
area,
including
new
hotel
uses
for
the
approximately
154
guest
rooms,
conference
rooms,
Ballroom
areas
pool
and
fitness
center.
AG
Approximately
40
146
condominium
units,
restaurants,
lounges
expansion,
space
for
the
adjacent
University,
Club
and
related
accessory
uses
in
connection
with
the
approved
project.
The
BPA
board
on
January
17
2019,
approved
that
adoption
of
a
demonstration
project
plan
an
order
taking
in
a
petition
to
the
pic
for
the
discontinuance
of
certain
air
rights
above
Stewart
Street
and
Trinity
Place.
However,
the
pic
on
February
14
2019
approved
the
smaller
discontinuance
area
than
which
had
originally
be
requested
and
approved
by
the
BPA
board.
AG
The
bra
conveyed
the
original
taking
areas
to
the
proponent
by
the
dated
June
18
2019
and
recorded
it
at
the
Suffolk
County
registry
of
deeds.
The
proponent
subsequently
proceeded
to
refine
the
design
of
the
canopy
elements
in
light
of
the
pic's
2019
approval.
The
proposed
project
now
requires
the
discontinuance
of
additional
air
rights
in
the
public
way
above
a
limited
portion
of
Steward
Street
for
the
redesign
canopy
elements
and
design
improvements
covering
a
total
horizontal
area
of
approximately
50
30
square
feet
above
Stewart
Street.
AG
The
revised
taking
area
represents
a
minor
change
to
the
original,
taking
area
approved
by
the
pic
and
epda,
as
described
above
such
canopy
elements
and
design
improvements.
Further,
the
appropriateness
of
the
proposed
projects
designed
for
the
project
site
and
were
reviewed
by
the
bpda
design
review
stack.
The
discontinuance
area
is
going
to
be
taken
by
VRA
pursuant
to
the
2019
demonstration
project
plan.
There's
no
presentation
for
this
project,
but
members
of
the
development
team
are
here
and
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have

the

which
was
adopted

The

the
Strategic

identified
four
sub
areas
and
the
back

sub-area,
where
the
project
is
located,
requires
the
following
preserved.

Two
major
highlights
of
this
project
that
we're
particularly
proud
of
is
the
fact
that
this
project
does
totally
comply
with
the
Harrison
Albany
Corridor
strategic
plan,
and
in
so
doing
this
project
applies
to
the
dimensional
and
use
requirements
of
underlying
selling
that
are
in
place
today
without
the
need
for
exception.
Secondly,
we
appreciate
the
efforts
of
all
involved
with
that
assisting
us
as
we
work
to
reimagine
and
Revitalize.
AK
Thank
you,
Peter
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
boards
and
TJ
Stokes
project
architect
with
Masjid
and
I'll,
be
walking
you
through
the
project
today,
but
as
so,
it
was
so
eloquently
already
stated
on
the
planning
context
from
the
Harrison
Albany
Corridor.
We
are
located
right
around
in
the
middle
of
it
and
we
have
the
5Ds,
which
really
had
been
a
driving
force
in
the
design
of
this
project.
AK
AK
And
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
the
two
streets:
Wareham
Street
is:
has
this
nice
continuous
Street
wall
and
a
mix
of
light
industrial
uses,
creative
uses
offices,
as
well
as
the
condos
across.
AK
The
middle
image
you'll
see
here
is
our
three
buildings
that
you'll
see
them
today,
with
boarded
up,
Windows,
dmu,
ground,
floor
opening
and
then
on
the
right.
You
can
see
the
four
or
five
loading
docks
that
exist
on
The
facades,
Today
on
Clemson,
Street
and
comparison.
The
street
is
made
up
of
many
either
surface
parking,
lots
or
driveways
to
loading
docks
that
across
the
street
from
us
on
the
bottom
left
image
you'll
see
the
GMP
facility
across
the
street.
That
is
quite
a
busy
active
loading
dock
as
and
then
in
the
middle
image.
AK
Here,
you'll
see
our
site
with
the
two
smaller
buildings
and
the
entrance
to
the
surface
parking
on
the
left.
Next
slide,
please
and
just
a
closer
overall
view
of
this
building
and
this
these
three
facades
really
have
to
become
the
defining
factor
of
this
project.
We
are
planning
to
keep
all
of
these
in
place
while
we
demolish
the
building
behind
them
and
restore
this
facade
to
the
its
original
historic
look,
while
adding
in
a
more
a
modern
building
behind
that
respectful
context.
AK
Next
slide,
please
just
some
thoughts
about
how
we
ended
up
kind
of
laying
out
the
ground
floor
plan
and
how
we
organized
the
building,
obviously
with
the
existing
spot,
as
I
mentioned
as
a
defining
factor
of
this
building.
But
where
can
Street,
as
I
mentioned,
is
the
more
active
street
with
office
use
and
the
condo
across
the
street?
AK
And
so
that
is
really
where
we
focused
our
lobby
and
our
2000
square
foot
retail,
as
well
as
our
bike,
storage
and
and
all
the
jungle
part,
and
really
focusing
our
back
of
house
space
and
our
loading,
our
parking
and
our
utilities
on
Plympton
Street,
the
crop
adjacent
to
that
existing
loading
dock
in
the
surface
parking
across
the
streets
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
just
a
closer
look-
you
can
see
that
street
through
Corridor
that
made
up
that
helped
bring
pedestrians
through
the
building
within
the
salt.
AK
AK
Just
going
quickly
through
the
program,
we
have
two
levels
of
upgrade
parking
which
are
rampant,
utilizing
get
down
to
our
active
uses
on
the
first
floor
with
our
back
house
space
on
Clinton,
Street
and
then
four
levels
of
tenant
space
with
mechanical
space
sharing
the
top
level
in
order
to
reduce
the
Mechanicals
on
the
roof
and
maximize
a
step
back
from
where
I'm
treated
as
much
as
possible.
AK
Next
five,
please-
and
that's
really
all
of
those
ideas
come
together
to
give
what's
on
the
screen
in
front
of
you,
revitalizing
with
Bob
using
windows
and
new
high
performance
glazing
that
can
have
this
divided
light,
aesthetic
and
respect
where
it
came
from
and
really
creating
removing
all
of
those
loading
docks
that
we
showed
previously
at
the
ground
bubble
and
creating
a
welcoming
active
ground
level
that
helps
the
long
wear
hands
through
next
slide.
AK
Please,
and
if
you
could
step
back
from
this
building
and
look
at
it
from
its
fronts,
given
the
size
of
Wareham
Street,
that
it's
not
possible,
you'd
see
these
upper
levels
and
how
they're
set
back
from
these
existing
facades
to
minimize
their
impact
on
the
existing
spot
below
and
really
become.
The
new
building
really
tries
to
become
a
a
background
to
the
street
wall
that
run
the
long
wear
chemistry
we're
proposing
a
metal
panel.
AK
That's
articulated
in
a
way
to
give
it
this
more
industrial
aesthetic,
while
we
break
up
the
roof
screen,
above
with
that
same
frame
and
some
horizontal
articulation
through
metal
tables.
Next,
five,
please,
and
vice
versa,
on
Clemson
Street.
This
is
an
entirely
new
facade,
and
so
we
really
wanted
to
respect
our
context
and
make
this
project
make.
AK
This
articulation
really
fit
in
with
these
older
buildings,
using
a
more
rigid
and
facade
structure
with
horizontals
and
verticals
that
align
on
every
floor
and
then
where
we
do
need
these
more
modern
scale
sizing
with
our
overhead
doors
for
our
for
our
loading
dock
and
our
ramp,
as
well
as
our
electric
fault
access.
We
really
broke
away
from
that
a
bit
and
used
more
modern
materials
using
frosted
glazing
to
create
a
more
active
street
from
in
front
of
our
loading
docks
and
using
a
perforated
metal
panel
in
front
of
our
electric
bulb.
Q
Okay,
thank
you.
So
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board
I
do
have
more
questions.
So
it
says
it's
a
it's
a
Life
Sciences
building.
It's
just
is
this
intended
to
be
labs.
Q
Can
you
go
into
kind
of
the
you
know?
The
type
of
you
know
go.
AM
AM
Q
I
think
the
design
looks
looks
great,
but
again
from
a
from
a
lab
safety
life
sciences
like
what
are:
what
are
we
expecting
from
a
from
a
tenant?
What
what
a
level
and.
AJ
AN
Hi
good
evening,
Madam
chair,
thank
you
for
the
for
the
question
and
thank
you
to
the
board
members
for
taking
the
time
this
evening
and
the
bpda
staff
for
all
the
work
over
the
last
few
months.
So
I
think
the
simplest
way.
I
know.
Obviously
you
guys
are
very
familiar
with
with
life
science
projects
and
so
I
think.
AN
The
simplest
way
to
describe
this
is
that
this
project
will
house
really
no
great
no
greater
than
bsl2
operations,
and
so
that
is
you
know,
I'd
say:
there's
bsl1
as
well
is
possible
here,
but
but
nothing
at
the
BSL,
three
or
four
level
would
would
be
contemplated
in
these.
In
this
project.
Q
Okay
and
then
from
the
abutters
perspective,
I
guess:
can
you
just
clarify
who
who
the
butters
are
and
kind
of
kind
of
what
the
division
and
space
between
your
building
and
their
those
buildings.
AJ
I'm
sure
you
asked
a
great
question
so,
as
I
mentioned
when
we
started
the
evening
this
project
and
the
Harrison
Albany
Court
was
designed
to
be
a
lights
up
real
quarter
with
the
underlying
building.
For
that
there
are
two
residential
projects
that
were
approved
by
conditional
youth
permits
that
are
across
awareness,
briefs
a
condominium
project,
Farm
Street.
AJ
We
did
reach
out
to
all
the
trucks
with
the
condominium
to
share
details
and
to
answer
questions
a
we
also
had
references
that
were
members
of
the
IG
on
this
committee
next
door
to
immediately
adjacent
and
sharing.
Essentially,
party
walls
are
similarly
situated
industry,
so
we
had
industrial
commercial
uses
and
so
on.
This
side
of
Wareham
Street
is
the
predominantly
so
at
the
very
end
of
where
I'm
free
toward
Harrison
is
a
residential
condominium.
Q
Okay,
cool
those
are
my
only
questions.
Any
additional
questions
or
comments
for
the
board
hearing
and
seeing
non-emotion
is
in
order.
So.
G
Q
AM
Q
Right
secretary,
if
you
could
squeeze
one
more
in
right,
yes,.
Q
Okay,

March
2019.
At
this
time
the
project
is
Seeking,

the
development
team.
AG
AI
Thanks
Tyler
and
thank
you
chair
Rojas,
secretary
bulimas
and
members

The
project
is
located
within
the
planning
boundaries
and
planning
spots.
An
ongoing
planning
initiative
that
began
in
2018.
Lenny's

draft
recommendations
for
all
squares
and
corridors
in
May
2021.
draft
recommendations

describe
Procter.
AO
Thank
you
Angel
and
thank
you
Tyler.
My
name
is
George
morency
good
afternoon
Madam,
chair
secretary
kalimus
board
members
and
director
Jemison.
It's
my
pleasure
to
represent
rise
together
a
boston-based
and
founded
mwbe
business
on
this
notice;
project
change
for
rise
to
assume
the
owner
and
developer
responsibilities
for
this
previously
approved
large
project
on
the
owner
and
developer
side.
We're
joined
this
afternoon
by
Herbie
Duvernay,
the
founder
and
CEO
of
Rise,
as
well
as
Quinlan
Locke
who's
been
the
point
person
on
this
NPC
Verizon
and
Jason
Forney.
AO
The
project
architect
as
Tyler
has
described.
What
is
being
saw
today
is
his
board
approval
for
the
change
in
ownership
of
the
project,
as
well
as
a
change
in
Project
from
an
entirely
condominium
units
project
to
a
predominantly
rental
project,
with
the
maintained
commitment,
as
originally
approved
to
ownership
units
in
the
former
church
building,
which
will
remain
and
not
be
demolished.
AO
This
matter
was
originally
approved
by
this
board
and
subsequently
by
the
Zoning
Board
of
appeal
in
2019
that
zoning
relief
has
been
kept
current
and
is
valid
going
to
financing
considerations.
My
clients,
who
are
together
in
order
to
complete
project
that
they
have
purchased,
needs
and
seeks
approval
from
this
board
to
restructure
the
project
from
an
entirely
condominium
project
to
a
predominantly
rental
projects.
AO
AO
This
is
a
requested
and
necessary
change
in
order
to
secure
project
financing
to
complete
a
project
for
nearly
five
years
ago,
which
is
sat
in
stasis
since
then,
and
was
solo
by
the
the
previous
owner
who,
for
whatever
reason,
you
know,
did
not
build
the
project
again,
as
Tyler
has
detailed
on
our
review
of
the
project
and
in
light
of
new
requirements
and
priorities
on
on
the
part
of
the
city
and
the
bbda
for
our
church
has
been
required
to
comply
with
the
increased
affordability
requirements,
new
parking
requirements
and
other
Equity
considerations,
which
have
been
a
subject
of
conversation
for
the
past
few
months
before
reaching
the
board.
AO
A
factor
means
that
this
is
a
previously
approved
project
which
is
changing
only
in
terms
of
ownership
and
again
I
point
out
an
ownership
that
is
committed
to
and
equipped
to
actually
complete
the
project
and
provide
over
100
new
units
out
of
the
city
and
to
change
from
Mostly
homeownership
units
to
mostly
rental
units.
I
will
close
by
positive
that
our
city
needs
both
types
of
units
and
that
this
change
from
condo
units
to
rental
units
is
not,
as
consequential
perhaps
is
that
some
might
suggest
and
again.
AO
Finally,
as
you
punctuate
what
Tyler
said
in
terms
of
what
has
happened
with
respect
to
the
IDT
commitment,
there
are
four
additional
IDP
units,
but
what
was
originally
proposed-
and
we
hope
that
that
makes
this
a
a
better
project
for
the
city
and
yeah,
for
the
bpda
and
for
the
board.
I'll
pause
and
we'll
take
any
questions
that
that
any
members
may
have.
AO
Thank
you,
Mr
Miller,
that
that's
a
great
question.
I'm,
maybe
do
her
name
want
to
take
that
or
or
Jimmy
Grossman.
Maybe
here.
AP
Met
on
the
board,
I
think
I
think
James
Grossman
should
be
on
here:
I'm,
not
sure.
If
he's
a.
AP
AO
But
Mr
Miller
I
will
you
know
I
I've
been
I've,
been
this
kind
of
billing
time
for
hopefully
Mr,
Grossman
or
Mr
juvenile
to
interject
and
actually
give
ownership
perspective.
I've
seen
this
a
lot
lately
as
I'm
sure
this
board
is,
it
probably
will
continue
to
in
terms
of
securing
financing
for
projects.
AO
There
seems
to
be
some
skiddishness
in
the
market,
and
you
know,
as
I
said,
the
fact
that
this
was
a
project
that
was
approved
in
2019
and
has
fast.
AO
You
know
four
three
years
and
and
hasn't
been
built
says
something
so
you
know
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
rise
together
does
have
a
finance
and
commitment
to
get
this
built.
That
is
contingent,
however,
upon
the
transformation
of
the
as
we
call
it,
the
second
building
for
people
who
are
familiar
with
the
project
report.
It
was
approved
in
2019,
but
the
new
building
that
is
contingent
upon
transforming
the
the
form
of
ownership
there
from
the
individual
unit
ownership
condominium
ownership
to
developer
ownership
in
his
rental
units,
so
it
it's.
AO
AG
George
I
see
I,
see,
Jim
is
has
been
but
I
believe
Jim
was
promoted,
yeah.
AQ
AA
B
This
is
Jim
Grossman
here,
I
appreciate
the
time
and
the
question
and
I
would
say
it
really
comes
down
to
two
pole
when
you
think
about
I
think
there's
the
obvious
recognition
that
interest
rates
are
increasing,
and
so,
while
on
the
construction,
leveling
side,
interest
rates
increase
the
cost
to
build,
but
have.
B
Effect
on
the
sale
price,
so
you
have
this
reduction
in
sale
because
mortgages
went
up
while
your
cost
of
build
goes
up,
but
that's
not
it
alone.
It
also
has
a
component
of
scale,
so
a
project
of
this
scale
and
size
requires
really
in
institutional
investment.
When
you
think
about
that,
and
in
our
case
these
are
Pension
funds,
so
whether
they
be
building
trade,
Pension
funds
and
or
teachers
union
pension
fund
in
different
Pension
funds
that
are
part
of
a
programmatic
JV
with
us.
B
Those
different
Pension
funds
have
requirements
that
require
their
Investments
to
be
re,
ready
or
essentially
rental
products,
and
so
that
it's
really
two
people
that
is
creating
this.
You
have
the
obvious
economic
reasons
around
basically
around
interest
rates
right
now,
but
also
from
a
skill
perspective.
B
As
many
of
these
projects
come
I
would
imagine
they
all
have
that
many
of
them
have
this
scale
challenge
where
the
investors,
who
tend
to
invest
at
something
of
this
skill,
tend
to
be
larger
institutional
investors
that
have
covenants
what
they
can
and
cannot
invest
in,
and
that
is
the
Casio.
Our
investors
are
exactly
that.
P
That's
very
helpful.
I
was
really
trying
to
get
your
perspective
because
you're
right
at
the
point
looking
at
you
know,
rental
first
condo
and
I
just
appreciate
your
perspective,
because
I'm
sure
this
will
be
something
we'll
be
seeing
in
the
over
the
course
of
the
next
several
quarters.
So
thank
you.
Q
Great
and
thank
you
all
for
for
contributing
to
that
to
that
very,
very
good
question.
So
any
additional
questions
or
comments,
hearing
and
saying
non-emotion
is
in
order.
Q
Up
we'll
call
for
a
vote:
Mr
Monahan
aye
dearly
and
smart
aye,
Mr,
Miller
aye
and
the
chair.
That's
admission,
passes.
Congratulations
and
good
luck.
Thank.
AO
Q
So
that
was
item
number
20..
Oh
my
gosh,
we're
like
right
at
item
number
21,
which
is
the
which
is
the
public
hearing,
so
we're
going
to
take
a
brief
recess,
as
we
normally
do
before
our
public
hearings.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
resume
back
in.

Q
That
you'd
be
patient
in
case
of
any
technical
issues.
Language
interpretation
will
not
be
enabled
to
construct
instructions
on
how
to
access
interpretation

been
interpreted
into
Cantonese,

Once
interpretation
has
been
enabled
a

will
appear
a
reminder
to
all
that
are
speaking
today.
We
ask
that
everyone
speaks
slowly
for

If
you
are

Music
institutional
master

the
Imp,
which
was

the
building,
the
acquisition

I
will
now
turn
to
Caitlyn

VP
of
government
and
community

Thank
you
so
much
so
much
Nick
appreciate
it
good
evening.
Everyone,
as
Nick
just
said,
my
name,
is
Caitlin
passafaro
and
I
serve
as
the
vice
president
of
community
and
government
relations
at
Berkeley.
I
am
joined
by
my
colleagues,
Aaron
McCabe
who's,
our
vice
president
of
facilities
and
Ashley
malkahy
senior
director
of
physical
plant.
As
Nick
mentioned,
we
are
before
you
tonight
to
discuss
a
two-year
institutional
master
plan
containing
one
project
at

Hemingway
Street
Berkeley
purchased
this
building
in
2021,
with
hopes
of
utilizing
it
as
a
dorm.
AT
AT
prior
to
getting
into
project
specifics
a
little
bit
about
Berkeley
located
in
in
the
Fenway
and
Back
Bay
neighborhoods
of
the
city.
Berkeley
is
the
Premier
Institute
of
music
and
the
Performing
Arts
with
campus
locations
in
Valencia,
Spain,
Abu
Dhabi
and
New
York
City,
with
our
home
base,
of
course,
being
the
city
of
Boston
on
our
Boston
campus.
We
currently
educate
approximately
5
700
undergraduate
and
graduate
students
beyond
our
educating
our
current
student
population.
A
core
part
of
our
mission
is
supporting
music
and
arts
in
K-12.
AT
AT
Therefore,
through
Partnerships
with
City
agencies
such
as
the
Boston
Parks
Department,
we
put
on
over
60
free
concerts
in
almost
every
neighborhood
of
Boston
each
year.
These
Partnerships
are
what
make
Berkeley
a
thriving
community,
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
them.
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague,
Ashley
Mulcahy,
to
provide
an
update
on
projects
from
the
previous
imp.
AU
Great
thank
you.
Caitlin
I'd
like
to
give
a
brief
look.
At
the
past
10
years,
Berkeley
received
its
last
imp
approval
in
2011
in
the
conservatory
in
2012.,
Berkeley's
2011,
imp
included
four
projects.
Two
projects
were
completed,
while
iterations
of
the
other
two
remain
on
Berkeley's
current
imp
as
longer
term
potential
projects.
AU
The
facility
now
includes
a
325
seat,
theater
a
hundred
seat,
studio
and
concert
venue,
dance
studios,
rehearsal
rooms,
classrooms
and
the
dance
and
theater
division
offices.
Additionally.
The
conservatory
filed
an
amendment
to
their
2012
imp,
which
allowed
for
a
20
000
square
foot,
dance
and
music
rehearsal
facility
located
at
132
Ipswich
Street
and
was
completed
in
2014.
AU
next
slide.
Please
thank
you
and
before
we
jump
into
this
year's
proposed
12
Hemingway
project,
we
thought
it
would
be
beneficial
to
share
a
map
of
the
Boston
campus
for
reference.
As
you
can
see,
Legacy
Berkeley
is
highlighted
in
blue
totaling
900
000
square
feet
after
the
merger
in
2016,
the
Boston
Conservatory
shown
in
red
increased
our
square
footage
to
slightly
over
a
million
square
feet
across
the
Back
Bay
and
Fenway
neighborhoods.
AV

Further,
the
exterior
wheelchair
lift
will
be
removed
and
be
replaced
by
an
interior
system
providing
ground
access
to
the
first
floor.
Along
with
these
accessibility
improvements,
the
first
floor
will
also
receive
a
minor
transformation
with
the
addition
of
a
common
kitchen,
as
well
as
engagement
and
study
spaces,
enhancing
our
students
experience.
AV
Currently,
the
building
is
cooled
via
window
air
conditioning
units,
so
plans
are
to
replace
these
window
units
with
a
building-wide
HVAC
system
supplying
both
Heating
and
Cooling.
Further
contributing
to
a
more
energy,
efficient
building
plan,
the
building
include
envelope
replacement
of
the
windows
and
making
much
needed
facade
repairs.
AV
In
addition,
a
new
sidewalk
is
included
in
the
proposed
site
improvements
along
with
additional
exterior
lighting,
providing
improved
sight.
Safety
features
to
the
area
surrounding
the
building
when
the
building
opens
Berkeley
plans
to
station
a
security
officer
on
site
within
the
building,

and
additional
security
improvements
include
the
installation
of
surveillance
cameras
that
will
feed
into
the
Berkeley
Command
Center
upon
approval
and
permitting
the
project
is
estimated
to
take
roughly
seven
months
next
slide.
Please
so
Berkeley
is
committed
to
increasing
the
number
of
students
housed
on
campus.
AV
AT
Thanks
Aaron,
as
I
spoke
to
earlier,
in
addition
to
yearly
academic
scholarships,
Berkeley
runs
a
number
of
programs
for
Boston
Public
School
students.
These
programs
support
a
wide
range
of
student
needs
from
providing
basic
music
education
in
the
classroom,
which
we
know,
increases
self-esteem
and
Independence
in
young
people,
to
targeted
programs
for
students
with
disabilities
that
meet
each
individual
Learner
in
a
safe
and
welcoming
environment
and
to
specialize
and,
lastly,
to
specialize
in
intensive
programs
for
young
people
who
are
showing
an
inclination
towards
a
future
career
in
the
Arts.
AT
Total
sum
of
these
programs
ensures
that
there
is
a
place
for
all
types
of
students
in
these
programs.
Furthermore,
the
center
for
music
therapy
at
Berkeley
works
with
organizations
across
the
Greater
Boston
area
to
use
music
as
a
tool
to
impact
the
overall
physical,
social
and
emotional
health
of
children,
adolescents
and
adults.
AT
AT
Q
Let
me
go
ahead
and
take
any
any
testimony.
First
and
Then
followed
that
by
any
questions
from
the
board,
so
secretary
Filipinas
do
we
have
anyone
that
would
like
to
testify
sure.

and
Caitlin
Herron
and
Ashley.
Thank
you
for
your
good

AX
If
you
feel
this
is
a
project
we'll
help
put
young
men
and
women
in
the
Boston
area,
who
may
not
be
college-bound,
who
may
not
have
the
resources
to
go
to
an
institution
like
Berkeley
into
careers,
not
jobs
but
careers
through
local
apprenticeship
programs
in
the
Building
Trades
Visa
careers
that
will
provide
area,
standard
construction,
wages
benefits
and
with
health,
insurance
and
dignified
retirement,
and
we
are
fully
in
support
of
this
project.
Thank
you.
AY
AY
It
is
with
great
pleasure
that
I
speak
in
favor
of
this
great
institution,
Berkeley
School
of
Music,
no
matter
where
in
the
world
you
are,
and
you
think,
of
the
best
music
schools.
You
will
think
of
Berkeley
and
we're
so
fortunate
to
have
it
in
Boston
and
I.
We
definitely
want
to
see
the
spirit
go
forward.
It's
a
great
respect.
We
ask
you
to
work
on
the
affirmative.
Thank
you.

of
the
board
our
Madam
Secretary
director,
Jameson
Gary
Walker,
representing
you,
know,
electricians
and
technicians,
local
103.
I'd,
like
to
speak
with
trying
support,
like
all
our
institutions
around
this
city.
Berkeley
has
always
been
very
supportive,
the
last
night
to
thank
them
for
their
continued
support.
Thank
you.
Thank.
BA
It's
it's
actually
Tian
Donahue
speaking
for
Doug
and
Hill
we're
together.
Okay,
I,
I
Berkeley
is
a
wonderful
place.
It's
actually
helped
our
little
performing
arts
school
in
the
South
End
many
times,
and
we're
very
grateful
for
that.
I
actually
just
have
a
very
simple
question
is
the
site
where
this
is
going,
the
site
where
there
has
been
that
that
hostel,
that
youth
hostel
for
all
these
years
and
if
so,
where
is
that
hostel
going.
Q
But
but
we
will,
we
will
ask
the
questions
after
the
after
the
after
we
get
through
the
public
testimony.
So
so
so
I'll
ask
that
sorry.
C
BB
Good

be
elevated
above

Flood
elevation
achieved
in
this

through
construction
of

improvements
integrated
into
its
open

and
elevation
of
the
site.
BE
Next

located
with
an
area
covered
by
the
draft
4.100

and
2020
that
established
more

as
part
of
an

Network.
The
plan
included
priorities
to
strengthen
connections
to
the
Waterfront,
create
a
more
resilient
community
and
expand
Recreation
events,
including
an
Amphitheater
and

and
are
hoping
that
this
project
advances
ahead
of
our
concurrent
with
our

next
slide.
BE
Please
other
features
to
point
out
that
there's
a
significant
reduction
in
vehicular
roadways
and
parking
facilities
compared
to
the
2006
plan.
The
2006
plans
suggested
that
the
open
space
be
transferred
to
a
public
entity
or
non-profit
for
care
and
custody.
We
are
pleased
to
note
that
the
Project's
new
parks
will
be
transferred
to
the
Boston
Parks
Department.
The
project
will
provide
15
000
square
feet
of
Civic
cultural
space
in
support
of
the
four
point
artist
community,
and
also
to
develop
an
inclusive
Waterfront
destination
for
all
of
our
residents.
BE
These
buildings
have
been
analyzed
for
wind
and
Shadow
impacts,
and
any
cumulative
impacts
are
balanced
by
more
green
space
and
other
exceptional
public
benefits
that
you'll
hear
in
the
project
description.
The
project
is
providing
the
required
one-third
building
volume
of
residential
use
and
is
providing
20
of
these
units
to

Thanks
Richard,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary
and
director
Jemison.
My
name
is
Stephen
Faber
I'm,
an
executive
vice
president
with
related
Beale,
the
proponent
on
244
284,
a
street
Rich
gave
a
tremendous
description
of
the
project.
There's
no
doubt
why
this
has
been
such
a
significant
Community
process.
When
you
hear
all
that
has
gone
on
and
has
baked
into
this,
what
I'd
love
to
do
is
to
pass
the
Baton
to
Ellie
gamberg
from
kpf
our
design,
architect.
BG
Thank
you
very
much
Steve.
Thank
you,
madam
chairman,
and
members
of
the
board.
It's
really
a
delightful
opportunity
to
be
able
to
discuss
the
project
with
you
this
evening,
being
cognizant
of
time
and
wanting
to
maximize
the
opportunity
for
the
public
to
comment
and
for
you
to
ask
your
questions.
We'll
move
very
quickly.
BG
It's
located
between
a
Street
and
the
four
point,
Channel
up
between
bidford,
Street
and
garage
access
way
and
on
the
next
slide.
You
can
see
that
this
is
an
important
part
of
extending
the
Fort
Point
District.
It
is
really
the
kind
of
gateway
to
one
of
Boston's,
great
neighborhoods
when
approached
from
the
financial
district
and
also
a
critical
part
of
both
public
realm
and
resiliency
perimeter
of
the
four-point
channel.
BG
Currently,
on
the
next
slide,
you
can
see
that
the
area
has
been
a
parking
lot
that
was
left
over
after
the
construction
of
the
I-90
tunnel,
as
Rich
previously
mentioned,
and
it's
a
six
over
six
acres
of
flood
Pro
in
a
previous
parking
lot
with
over
800
cars
and
very
little
green
space
and
we'll
show
some
images
of
it
flooding
fairly
regularly
later
in
the
presentation.
BG
Our
Hope,
as
you
can
see
on
the
next
slide,
is
that
with
your
support,
there
will
be
a
million
98
000
square
feet
of
development,
3.25
Acres
of
public
realm,
which
is
dramatically
more
than
was
envisioned
in
the
original
100
Acre
PDA
150
new
trees,
significant
contribution
in
terms
of
Housing
and
affordable
housing
specifically
and
opportunities
to
create
a
really
great
extension
that
lives
up
to
all
the
aspirations
of
the
neighborhood.
In
terms
of
architectural
character.
BG
Detail
and
craft
on
the
next
image
you'll
see
the
general
Arrangement
that
was
already
alluded
to
three
buildings:
G4
G5,
G6,
G4
and
G5
are
both
within
180
foot,
height,
Zone
G6
in
a
lower
Zone.
It's
123
feet
tall,
the
two
parks,
and
that
was
Street
in
Fort
Point,
which
are
about
connecting
a
street
to
the
water,
and
ultimately,
all
of
this
has
been
validated
in
terms
of
shadow,
wind,
daylight
and
open
realm
studies
with
bpda
staff
parks,
department
and
transportation
on
the
next
slide.
BG
You'll
see
a
summary
of
the
areas
of
the
projects,
but
for
us
really,
the
most
important
thing
is
the
idea
that,
within
this
extension
of
the
existing
four
point,
District
neighborhood,
we
maximized
opportunities
to
create
poorest
public
connections
both
for
channel
Center,
but
also
from
the
Fort
Point
District
to
the
water
that
is
along
Windward
Street,
which
will
be
approved
and
portion
of
it
will
be
turned
into
a
new
park,
the
Neko
Street
park,
but
also
a
public
Galleria
that
will
run
through
G6
and
a
new
alley
between
G4
and
G5.
BG
In
addition,
we've
worked
very
carefully
to
maximize
spaces
of
public
accommodation
in
terms
of
retail,
active
artist,
Studios
and
other
elements,
and
really
kind
of
very
active
public
realm
along
all
the
streets
and
the
parts
around
the
site.
An
important
part
of
this
as
you'll
see
on
the
next
slide
is
the
idea
that
this
is
a
very
unique
Community
known
throughout
the
United
States
and
the
world
is
really
a
center
for
the
creative
arts.
BG
So
a
big
part
of
the
ferocity
was
not
really
a
kind
of
urban
idea,
but
also
a
cultural
idea
of
expressing
that
creation
of
the
Arts
Community
through
a
number
of
art
Trails,
which
connect
the
community
to
the
Waterfront,
and
that
is
something
that
runs
along
Neko
Street
kind
of
Park.
The
park
like
trail
that
runs
along
the
park
and
also
opportunities
to
run
both
through
the
buildings
and
also
on
Binford
Street.
I.
BH
Ella
thanks
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
as
Ellie
said,
my
name's
Rob
Adams.
We
work
for
Halverson
design,
we're
the
Landscape
Architects
on
the
project,
as
Ellie
mentioned,
I'm
very
excited
about
this
project
and
obviously
it's
the
landscape
architect
very
excited
about
the
significant
amount
of
open
space.
This
project
is
bringing
tonight
I'm
going
to
briefly
walk
you
through
some
of
the
exterior
spaces,
focusing
primarily
on
the
two
large
Parts,
which
is
Rich
mentioned
or
being
transferred
to
city
of
Boston
parks.
BH
Shown
here
in
this
image
is
the
largest
of
the
two
parks
and
you
can
see
essentially
the
Civic
lawn
spreading
out
within
this
park
and
then
the
Fort
Point
channel.
In
the
background,
in
contrast
on
the
next
slide,
As,
you
move
towards
the
water
into
a
smaller,
more
Garden
Room.
You
can
see
the
the
attention
to
texture
of
detail,
a
variety
of
seating
elements,
Etc
and
I.
Think
before
going
further,
it's
important
to
note
I
know
Bridge
brought
it
up,
but
I
think
it's
been
a
crucial
part
of
this
project.
BH
The
program
and
the
character
that
talking
tonight
and
you'll
add
any
slides
is
really
a
result
and
directly
reflects
the
engagement
with
the
community
and,
following
in
the
footsteps
of
the
work
that
the
city
and
community
did
around
100
acres
open
space
master
plan,
it
was
was
really
the
road
map
for
the
work
we've
done
tonight
and
so
you'll
see
on
the
next
slide.
A
highlight
of
that.
This
is
a
interactive
water.
BI
BH
You
move
on
the
next
slide
as
you
continue
to
move
to
the
water.
This
is
what
we've
kind
of
tongue
and
cheek
called
the
aha
moment,
the
spot
right
before
the
Fort,
Wayne,
Channel
kind
of
opens
up,
and
it
veils
to
you
and
again
I.
Think
it's
important
to
note
the
variety
of
seating,
the
diversity
of
seeding
elements.
BH
AM
BH
Think
really
the
highlight
of
the
space
is,
as
you
move
down
towards
the
harbor
walk.
You
can
see
the
continuous
Harbor
walk
running
north
south,
connecting
to
our
neighbors
to
the
north,
but
also
on
the
left.
You'll
see
The
Terraces
of
the
amphitheater.
So
not
only
is
the
amphitheater
a
place
for
Performing
Arts,
but
it's
also
the
integration
of
the
sea
level
rise,
Solutions
and
mitigations
that
we'll
touch
on
briefly
next
next
slide.
BJ
BJ
BJ
The
whole
noses
of
speak
of
these
buildings
make
a
unique
and
plus
scale
of
small
intimate
space
that
complements
the
part
that
we've
come
from,
and
it's
about
the
scale
you
can
say
of
Winthrop
Square
in
downtown,
so
a
place
where
you
can
feel
Shelter,
From,
the
weather
and
from
the
far
off
views.
We
also
know
the
color
differences
in
the
facade
materials.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
a
minute,
expertise.
BJ
So
and
now,
we've
walked
along
the
harbor,
walk
and
we're
looking
back
to
the
north,
and
you
can
note
the
arcade,
which
is
a
more
substantial
under
sling
of
the
mass
of
the
building.
What
we
noted
along
the
wormwood
extension
and
all
along
the
perimeter
of
the
building
will
offer
usable
space
of
food
and
beverage,
retail
and
so
on,
with
sidewalk
seating
to
animate
and
give
kind
of
a
sense
of
public
amenity
to
this
place.
Next,
please.
BJ
As
we
back
up
now,
the
part
that
Rob
talked
about
you
could
see
the
facade
of
G6,
and
previously
there
had
been
more
mechanical
Penthouse
equipment,
jetting
up
coming
above
the
parapet
of
the
building
that
has
been
in
the
planning
of
the
building
submerged
into
some
of
the
planned
area
of
the
building
shortened
in
height.
So
we
will
not
see
it
from
the
park
and
that's
that's
important.
You
also
see
these
little
incisions
so
to
speak
in
the
facade
of
terraces.
BJ
They
hang
together
as
an
overall
building
with
their
similarity
of
wall
type
articulation
of
punched
Windows,
albeit
detailed
slightly
differently
for
each
part
of
the
masking
to
give
a
sense
of
variety.
You
also
can
note
the
color
shape
of
lighter
break
the
top
coming
down
to
a
more
saturated,
ready
work
towards
the
street
and
the
bottom
right
hand.
BJ
Side
element
is
about
the
same
brick,
texture,
color
and
quality
as
the
existing
building
of
249
a
across
the
street
to
the
far
right
hand,
side
of
the
image
next
place
and
as
we
back
up
along
the
parkway
walk
and
we
look
to
the
north.
You
know
we
can
see
June
5.
and
you
know
it's
double
height
facade
with
a
slightly
staggered
pattern
to
give
the
facade
a
dynamic,
a
little
bit
of
life
and
vibrancy,
but
also
the
curd
corner
of
the
building.
BJ
That
eases
your
view
of
this
mask
into
some
of
the
walkways
along
the
harbors
Rock
Edge,
but
also
in
that
inner
Neko
roadway
walkway
in
Piazza
that
we
looked
at
before
that's
good
and
now
I'll
hand
it
back
to
just
noting
first
of
all
that
we're
heading
over
that
the
area
that's
shown
in
yellow
the
usable
detail,
Active,
Space
and
community
space
is
very
much
enlightening,
a
great
proportion
of
periphery
of
these
buildings
and
that
also
in
purple
those
two
noted
G6.
BH
Jamie
I
think
it's
important
to
note
on
this
plan.
Just
the
importance
of
connecting
the
ground
floor
uses
to
the
exterior
park
space,
and
so
great
attention
has
been
paid
to
ensure
the
Civic
quality
of
Parts,
while
also
making
connections
to
the
ground
floor
uses.
Then
in
the
next
series
of
slides
just
quickly.
It's
important
to
note
I
think
Rich
mentioned
it.
BH
We
saw
that
in
the
amphitheater,
the
stepping
down
also
that
becoming
the
raise
and
grade
and
what's
really
unique
about
this
project.
As
you
can
see
in
that
section
on
the
upper
left,
rather
than
just
the
simple
hump
or
berm,
we've
been
able
to
raise
the
entire
site's
grade
about
five
to
six
feet
at
that
very
Westerly
Edge
and
connect
it
to
our
neighbors
to
the
North
and
South
to
make
Provisions
for
the
future
work
that
the
city
is
doing
to
the
South.
BH
BG
I'll
conclude
just
before
handing
it
over
to
Steve
on
the
next
slide
that
it's
not
just
a
rich
question
of
resiliency
being
a
model
for
sustainable
development
and
in
most
cases
in
terms
of
both
water,
absorption
and
energy,
we're
trying
to
be
anywhere
from
30
to
50
or
Beyond
over
Baseline
there's
a
set
of
public
benefits
and
maybe
see,
if
you
might
conclude
before
I
turn
it
over
to
the
public
and
board
members
for
their
questions.
Thank
you
very
much
for
their
time.
BF
I
thought
we
had
a
couple
of
extra
slides,
but
that's
okay,
I
think
we've
talked
about
everything
and
and
we're
prepared
happy
to
take
questions
at
this
time.
Okay,.
Q
AF
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you.
Vice
chairman
Monahan
members
of
the
board,
Mr
landsmark
and
and
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
in
government
who
will
be
testifying
later
on.
I
think
it's
plan
that
council
president
Ed
Flynn
and
Mike
Flaherty
will
also
be
testifying
and
I
believe
Senator
Collins
and
representative
Beale,
as
well.
AF
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
offer
my
strong
support
for
the
proposed
Channelside
project
at
the
6.5
Acre
Site,
located
at
244
248,
8th
Street
in
the
Fort
Point
neighborhood
of
the
South
Boston
Waterfront,
as
someone
who
was
involved
intimately
with
the
100
Acre
Mass
plan
and
and
then
in
the
last
few
years
being
closely
involved.
Along
with
my
my
my
elected
official
colleagues,
locally,
we've
been
involved
in
the
neighborhood
Outreach
and
discussion
process
for
this
project,
which
is
now
actually
I,
think
it's
in
its
fourth
year.
So
this
most
recent
version.
AF
The
version
that
you
see
tonight
of
the
Channelside
project
is
the
positive
result
of
extensive
Community
engagement
over
100
meetings
easily
over
the
over
the
past
four
years
and
really
reflects
collaboration
between
the
development
team
and
the
Fort
Point.
Channel
neighborhood,
as
well
as
a
wider
area
of
local
residents
and
our
elected
delegation,
myself
and
and
my
colleagues
have
worked
closely
with
the
developer
and
the
community
on
several
significant
plan
alterations.
AF
There
were
a
couple
of
you
know
major
points
on
the
on
the
park
and
on
the
amphitheater
on
the
the
breakfast
side
in
order
to
pay
respect
to
the
existing
architecture
in
the
area
and,
as
you
may
know,
at
present,
related
veal
has
generously
agreed
to
donate
an
estimated
8.3
million
in
linkage,
payments
20
on-site,
affordable
and
honest
housing
for
our
long-suffering
but
resilient
artists,
3.7
million
dollars
in
commitment
to
the
public
house,
as
well
as
their
300
000
contributions
of
Boston
School
stem
programs.
AF
The
developer
had
repeatedly
agreed
to
modifications
and
concessions
requested
by
local
residents
from
the
very
beginning
and
and
has
really
been
thoughtful
about
getting
the
input
of
a
local
residence
which,
which
I
think
has
earned
the
trust
and
support
from
the
Fort
Point
neighborhood
and
The
Wider
South
Boston
community,
the
Project's
mix
of
commercial
residential
and
artists
live
work,
housing
with
a
major
one,
acre
Park
and
a
900
seat.
Performing
Arts
Amphitheater
will
be
transformational
in
this
area.
AF
So
these
New
Uses
will
also
create
opportunities
for
local
jobs
and
and
I
do
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
on
that
aspect
of
this,
with
the
developers
of
the
four
point
Channel
and
the
fourth
Point
General
neighborhood,
as
well
and
and
as
well
your
agency
as
this
project
moves
forward
simply
put
and
frankly
this
project
and
again
as
someone
who
was
involved
in
the
100
Acre
planning
process,
this
project
is
currently
configured
exceeds.
My
hopes
and
expectations.
AF
I
believe
that,
in
this
project,
related
field
has
sent
really
a
new
standard
for
commitment
to
the
impacted
residents
in
this
area
and
residents
across
the
city,
and
that
we
should
require
all
projects
of
this
size
and
impact
to
to
meet
a
similar
standard,
and
with
that
I'm
hopeful
you'll
vote
to
approve
this
proposal.
I
want
to
thank
you
again
for
your
courtesy
and
allowing
me
to
be
heard
here
and
to
have
an
opportunity
to
provide
input
during
this
review
period.
Thank
you
and
I
yield
back.
BK
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Madam,
Secretary
members
of
the
board
director
Jameson
I'll.
Try
to
summarize
my
my
support
here
as
well.
I
enthusiastically
support
this
proposal.
BK
I'll
try
to
highlight
some
of
the
points
I
want
to
make
on
this.
For,
for
the
reasons
why,
but
after
an
extensive
Community
process,
the
development
team
worked
closely
with
the
president's
development
team
worked
closely
with
the
South
Boston
elected
officials.
They
were
accommodating,
they
they
listened,
they
met
with
us,
they
met
with
the
community
and
they
not
just
listened.
They
implemented
a
lot
of
what
the
community
asked
for
as
the
congressman
mentioned.
BK
This
was
really
an
example
of
how
to
have
a
development
team
work
with
residents
to
work
with
the
bppa
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Rich
McGinnis
as
well
in
the
in
the
development
team,
but
the
development
team
really
listened
to
the
concerns
of
the
residents
and
work
with
us
and
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Steve,
but
also
to
the
government
Affairs
team
as
well.
It's
also
important
to
get
our
economy
working
again
in
construction
will
certainly
play
a
key
role
in
that.
BK
So
I
believe
this
project
will
be
a
valuable
addition
to
our
district
to
our
city.
It's
going
to
put
people
back
to
work
and
we
desperately
need
that
at
this
time
in
Iowa
City.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
in
the
board
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
for
to
speak
on
behalf
of
my
constituents.
Thank
you.
C
All
right
welcome
back
to
you

Mancini.

Hi,
thank
you
so
much
Teresa
thanks
everyone.
My

is
Kristen
I'm.
The
executive
director
of
Safe
Harbor,
save
the
bay
Harbison
is
to
protect
and
restore
Boston
Harbor
and
share
it
with
everyone.
There's
a
special
focus
on
breaking
down
barriers
when
it
comes
to
public
access
to
people,
color
people
with
disabilities
and
people
who
do
not
speak
English
as
a
first
language
and
I
just
adhere
to
speak
in
support
of
this
project.
H
They've
led
a
very
truly
inclusive
process
that
has
included
not
just
people
who
live
in
the
neighborhood
that
have
reached
Beyond,
it's
all
of
Boston's
neighborhoods,
to
bring
in
feedback
and
they've
addressed
issues
such
as
connecting
this
into
the
South
Lake
Harvard
Trail,
creating
meaningful
public
AdSense
and
setting
a
strong
Foundation
from
which
even
greater
public
benefits
can
be
added
on
by
Future
development,
so
I'll
leave
it
there
for
now.
We're
looking
forward
to
seeing
this
project
continue
to
strengthen
through
the
chapter
91
process.
Thank
you
very
much.
AL
Hi
everyone
we
moved
this
park
through
25
years
ago.
We
conceived
of
it
and
you'll
see
it
in
the
seaport
public
realm
plan.
We
moved
it
through
the
Municipal
Road
plan.
We
moved
it
through
60
public
meetings,
getting
it
zoned
with
the
buildings
in
the
Hundred
Acres
planning
process.
I
am
speaking
in
support
of
the
project,
but
I
have
a
few
concerns
among
unresolved
issues.
We
had
an
opportunity
to
nail
down
specifics
on
multiple
Civic
and
cultural
spaces
that
will
arrive
with
this
project
on
chapter
91
tidelines.
AL
Instead,
unlike
prior
bpda
PDA,
permitting
processes
at
Sam,
Pier
4,
Atlantic
Wharf,
we
have
no
floor
plans
and
a
subpar
commitment
to
build
out
costs.
Contrary
to
what
the
community
was
told,
there
is
no
meaningful
public
process
under
chapter
91,
at
Matt's
dep
for
resolving
these
issues
to
maximize
potential
of
the
district
for
year-round,
Civic
and
cultural
engagement.
AL
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
lack
of
District
level
land
use
Planning
by
bpda
at
grade
for
storm
water
unable
to
drain
with
seal
level
rise,
it's
impossible
for
developers
and
stakeholders
to
adequately
Benchmark
resiliency
and
a
project
by
project
basis
with
no
larger
scale.
Understanding
of
how
knowable
volumes
of
Inland
flood
water
will
be
managed.
This
remains
an
issue
for
all
Boston
neighborhoods,
not
just
Coastal
neighborhoods.
It
is
not
an
issue
that
can
be
addressed
by
Boston
Water
and
Sewer
Without
Partners
at
bpda,
considering
land
use
and
developing
funding
sources.
AL
District-Wide
at
grade
all
said,
we
made
significant
progress
on
Building
and
park
design
with
the
proponent
of
this
project
and
I'm
delighted
about
the
plan
transfer
of
a
large
portion
of
the
park
for
patrol
by
the
parks
department.
It's
also
heartening
to
see
the
South
Bay
Harbor
trail
move
forward,
an
initiative
that
was
conceived
in
Fort
Point
two
decades
ago,
a
testifying
today
in
support
of
the
project.
AL
AW
Good
evening
my
name
is
Mary
Robinson
and
to
the
development
team
in
the
city
of
Boston,
as
a
professional,
floutist
and
resident
of
Fort
Point
and
on
behalf
of
the
artist
Community
here,
I
would
like
to
express
our
Collective
gratitude
and
personally,
thank
you
for
your
investment
and
commitment
to
arts
and
culture.
This
is
so
exciting.
After
the
last
few
years,
we
all
have
a
profound
new
respect
for
the
power
of
a
positive
shared
experience.
AW
This
project,
from
the
beginning
of
time,
from
the
beginning
of
civilization,
human
beings,
have
felt
the
need
to
express
themselves
through
the
Arts,
often
telling
the
story
of
their
times.
Our
interest
in
this
project
is
not
merely
self-serving
as
a
vehicle
for
artists
in
the
neighborhood,
but
it's
an
investment
into
the
best
of
Boston's
expansive
cultural
scene
on
display
in
the
seaport
for
the
world
and
future
generations
to
experience.
AW
This
is
opening
our
hearts
and
Minds
in
humanity
to
Nature
excellence
and
creativity,
giving
Vision
to
a
more
cultivated
Society,
embracing
our
differences
and
celebrating
diversity
through
collaboration
is
at
the
core
of
community
building
science
and
making
music
recognizing
each
voice
as
unique
in
how
they
enrich
the
fabric
of
the
whole,
which
is
a
perfect
model
for
the
greater
purpose
of
making
a
positive
change
in
the
world.
Fostering
a
culture
that
celebrates
and
engages
differences,
broadens
our
understanding
and
acceptance
of
one
another.
Thank
you
again
for
your
vision.
Together.

I'm
in
support.
We
believe
that
this
project
will
be
a
valuable
addition
to
our
districts
and
will
create
an
inclusive
community
by
increasing
the
number
of
affordable
units
supporting
our
artists,
investing
in
our
youth
and
small
businesses

you

Thank
you.

Thank
you

BM
BM
and
several
years
later,
I
became
a
founding
member
of
the
Midway
artist
Collective,
the
DMV
that
bought
Midway
artist
Studios.
You
know
anyone's
largest
rental
workload,
community
and
I've
seen
that
change
in
a
ball
over
the
years.
Of
course,
the
community
goes
way
beyond
my
my
place
here
and
I.
Think
what
I'm
seeing
now
is
is
a
really
it's
an
invitation.
BM
I
think
that's
what
I
really
get
you
know
stuck
in
my
mind
is
that
you
know
if
you
went
through
this
neighborhood,
you
know
that's
going
between
Broadway
and
g-states,
and
you
know
down
to
Congress
Street.
You
really
wouldn't
know.
What's
going
on
inside
the
building
some
magical
stuff
that
has
always
been
going
on
behind
the
buildings,
whether
it's
in
the
19th
century
or
current,
and
now
we
have
an
opportunity
now
we're
actually
getting
a
space
with.
BM
You
know
the
artist
housing,
Arts
funding,
Civic
and
community
space,
but,
more
importantly,
I
think
it's
the
ability
to
actually
invite
other
members
of
the
citizens
of
Boston
across
this
community
across
this
region
to
be
able
to
come
here
and
perform
at
the
amphitheater
to
be
able
to
engage,
and
it's
actually
you
know
this
project.
Is
it's
been
through
a
long
Community
process
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
people
supporting
many
members
of
that
are
active
in
the
community
along
the
way?
Sometimes
they
agree.
Sometimes
they
disagree.
But
I
think
this
is
a
new
Benchmark.
BM
In
terms
of
what
you
know,
Community
can
look
like
in
terms
of
recognizing
acknowledging
the
varied
histories
synthesizing,
that
into
a
bunch
of
reasonable
design
outcomes
and
having
something
like
a
turnkey
Amphitheater,
where
groups
do
not
have
to
spend
money
to
perform
and
express
their
art
by
spending
it
all
on
infrastructure
they
have
to
carry
along
with
them
as
opposed
to
arriving
and
being
able
to
perform
as
as
part
of
the
Civic
function.
BM
Final
thing,
I'd
like
to
say
is:
is
that,
yes,
this
is
going
to
the
artist
Community,
but
it's
for
all
the
citizens
of
Boston.
It
would
be
like
saying
you
know
like
Boston,
Public
Library,
when
it
was
built
and
designed
and
dedicated
to
the
citizens.
It
was
just
for
authors
and
Publishers.
That's
not
the
case,
expressions
of
art,
the
expressions
of
engineering,
expressions
of
Science
in
the
lab
buildings.
BM
These
conversations
about
creativity
that
goes
across
many
different
disciplines
is
going
to
happen
at
this
site
and
I'm
very
encouraged
and
really
needed
this
really
great
a
real,
fresh
breath
of
air
giving
these
trying
times.
So,
thanks
to
all
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
for
a
few
moments
and
I
support
this
project,
cool
thanks.
Thank.
BN
There
was
the
very
first
thing
they
did
was
a
listening
session,
which
I
thought
was
wonderful
at
the
Children's
Museum.
So
during
this
entire
process,
which
has
been
long
and
a
little
bit
of
a
roller
coaster,
I'm
sure
there's
really
been
an
approach
that
has
been
the
most
collaborative
I've.
Seen
and
I
really
think
that
the
city
should
approach
each
of
the
projects
like
this,
because
it's
an
example
of
the
result
of
something
coming
out.
That
is
really
going
to
benefit.
BN
The
neighborhood
I
think
the
integration
of
the
design
I
know
there's
more
to
do
with
the
the
amenity
spaces
on
the
ground
floor.
But
the
thing
that
comes
out
of
this
is
a
positive
project
that
will
enhance
the
neighborhood,
but
also
to
I,
have
faith
and
trust
in
this
development
team
that
if
there
are
bumps
along
the
road
during
the
building
process
that
they'll
be
collaborative
and
responsive
to
the
neighborhood's
needs.
BN
T
Hi
everyone
as
a
longtime
resident
of
Fort
Point
I've,
been
here
since
1994..
T
Yes,
I
was
not
living
in
a
necessarily
legal
living
space,
but
that
time
in
this
neighborhood
that
was
an
artistic,
a
hotbed
of
artistic
creativity
and
I've,
been
supporting
this
project.
Because
of
the
worked
that
the
developers
had
done
with
the
artistic
representatives
to
include
important
features
that
will
enhance
the
artistic.
T
T
And,
thank
you.
That's
it.

Thank
you,
everyone.
My

Here
tonight,
representing
the
Boston
Dragon
Boat
Festival
I've
been
working
with
related
BL
team
for
over
two
years
to
discuss
the
possibility
of
Hosting
Dragon
Boat
powering
programs
on
the
four
point,
Channel
and
partnering
locally
to
develop
a
four-point
Asian
Chinese
Cultural
Boat
Festival
at
China
side
on
the
Waters
of
Boston.
You
usually
see
the
usual
water
Recreations
like
sailing,
rowers
and
kayaks.
BO
This
project
will
be
a
game
changer
for
those
of
us
who
already
enjoy
this
unique
and
amazing
Sport,
and
it
will
provide
the
ability
to
show
even
more
people.
This
diverse
sport
at
Toronto
site,
it's
very
exciting,
so
we
supported
this
project
and
can't
wait
to
start
working
with
related
veal
to
make
this
happen.
Thank
you.

BP
Thank
you.

you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
My

Don
Isles

one
of
the

in
Fort
Point
and
probably
best
known
for
my
own
efforts
at
Fort
Point
Channel
Watershed
activation
I
support.
BP
The
project
I've
participated
in
our
very
interesting
and
constructive
meetings
with
the
developer
and
I've
participated
in
the
efforts
of
the
residents
and
artists
in
Fort
Point
to
express
ourselves
clearly,
shall
we
say
the
developer
is
committed
to
a
number
of
benefits
that
are
consistent,
that
recognize
and
even
enhance
the
Arts
identity
of
the
neighborhood
and
which
are
also
I,
think
good
for
the
city
and
for
the
region,
and
not
only
that
these
commitments
have
been
enshrined
in
documents
that
are
legally
binding,
so
on
that
basis,
I
happily
support
the
project.
Thank
you.

It's
really
It
produced
something
that
is,
is
wonderful
and
is
going
to
be
a
fabulous
addition
to
Fort
Point
and
really
strengthen
the
community,
both
in
terms
of
the
Arts
but
just
the
community
as
a
whole,
and
hopefully
that
bring
more
people
from
other
neighborhoods
to
come
visit
to
want
to
come,
live
here
to
be
able
to
afford
to
live
here.
I
just
really
want
to
highlight
the
affordable
housing,
in
particular
the
fact
that
it's
20
affordable
instead
of
the
legally
required
13.
BQ
The
fact
that
the
Ami
brackets
are
at
50
and
70
I
mean
that's,
that's
true.
Affordability,
rather
than
you
know,
like
I,
know,
I
believe
it
goes
all
the
way
up
to
150
or
something
like
that.
So
I'm
I'm,
very
thankful
that
you
have
chosen
to
this
commitment
to
affordability
and
that
that
affordability
is
being
applied
to
artist
workload
spaces
as
well
as
non-artist
designated
spaces.
BQ
There's
such
a
need
for
that
in
this
neighborhood,
the
whole
city
of
Boston
I'm
also
super
excited
for
the
floating
art
launchpoint,
having
done
floating
art
and
not
having
had
that
infrastructure
in
place.
You
know
presents
challenges,
and
this
will
add
you
know
it
will
just
really
strengthen
that
program
and
allow
artists
to
create
amazing
works
on
the
water
that
you
know
everyone
can
enjoy
when
they
walk
by
the
amphitheaters.

BR
Greetings,
oh
wow,
many
of
the
items
I
was
going
to
bring
up
have
been
already
said,
but
related
veal,
in
my
opinion,
has
been
the
most
responsive
and
creative
developer
that
the
community
has
ever
worked
with.
I've
been
a
resident
here
for
18
years
and
from
their
first
encounter
with
the
neighborhood,
they
were
collaborative
and
flexible.
BR
Sorry
I've
got
a
bit
of
a
cold
while
there
are
differing
opinions
on
various
aspects
of
the
project.
They've
made
many
changes
in
response
to
community
concerns.
The
amphitheater
has
gone
from
a
basic
informal
outdoor
space
to
a
state-of-the-art
than
fourth
Point
needs
and
deserves
the
investment
in
the
Arts
Community
via
artist,
housing,
Arts,
activation
funding
and
public
art
is,
as
far
as
I
know,
unique.
BR
The
parks
are
well
designed
and
welcoming,
and
we're
very
pleased
to
see
that
this
Amphitheater
and
many
of
the
other
parts
of
this
project
have
been
codified
by
the
way.
The
Boston
virtual
seat
Trio
played
a
concert
in
Martin's
Park,
which
was
also
supposed
to
have
an
outlet
performance
face
with
which
was
later
removed
from
the
plan.
I'm
so
pleased
to
see
this
venue
codified
in
this
professional
cellist,
I,
look
forward
to
participating
in
the
planning
by
the
way
most
of
our
performance
was
rained
out,
Cello's,
guitars
and
electronic
equipment.
BR
BI
Thank
you.
Everyone
I
think
that
this
is
the
start
of
something
that
perhaps
we
can't
even
yet
imagine
how
special
and
unique
it's
going
to
be.
We
know
already
it's
going
to
be
a
very
important
new
chapter
for
Fort
Point
and
what's
unique
about
this
development
is
that
over
the
last
year,
the
community,
working
so
closely
with
a
responsive
developer,
has
produced
something
that's
really
going
to
carry
forward
really
phenomenal
Synergy
between
arts
and
culture
that
has
existed
here
for
decades
that
carry
it
long
into
the
future
and
I
think.
BI
In
the
development
plan
of
the
board,
memo
has
provided
the
Assurance
to
cultural
organizations
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
make
plans
to
engage
with
these
opportunities
in
the
coming
years.
They
can
depend
on
those
commitments
because
of
the
great
work
by
the
developer
and
this
new
bpda.
That
is
putting
these
things
down
in
writing.
BI
I
think,
as
the
process
moves
into
design
review
in
chapter
91,
where
we're
really
looking
forward
to
working
as
hard
as
we
possibly
can
to
continue
to
bring
our
Creative
Energy
to
the
project
and
to
make
sure
that
as
we
implement
it,
it
lives
up
to
its
full
potential.
It's
really
poised
to
be
a
really
unique
contribution
to
the
city
of
Boston
who
strongly
support
this
project.
Thank
you.

Good
evening
again,
chairwoman
Rojas
director,
Jameson
Madam
Secretary
palamas
and
the
BPA
board.
Once
again,
my
name
is
Michael
Burns
I
am
a
council
representative
for
the
Northeast
Regional
Council
of
sheet
metal
workers.
I
represent
several
thousand
men
and
women
who
work
in
the
greater
greater
Boston
metropolitan
area,
as
always,
I
just
want
to
mention
thanks
to
Michael
Sinatra
and
the
BPD
staff,
for
all
the
hard
work
that
you
do,
and
also
Mr
Faber
and
your
development
team
at
related
appeal
to
your
continued
partnership
with
Building
Trades
and
the
community.
AX
This
is
a
fantastic
project
not
only
for
the
careers
it's
going
to
provide
to
our
members,
but
also
the
community
benefits,
as
we've
heard
from
some
money
here
tonight,
particularly
the
autistic
Community,
which
is
you
know,
such
a
big
Fabric
in
that
community.
So
keep
it
short.
We
give
a
whole
lot
of
support
to
this
project.
Thank
you
for
the
time.
BS
Hello,
my
name
is
Erica
Hagler
I
also
go
buy,
Blind,
Fox,
I'm,
a
local
muralist
and
artist
and
I
just
wanted
to
say.
I
am
absolutely
thrilled
to
see
how
far
this
project
has
come,
that
it
has
been
it's
being
built
from
the
ground
up
with
all
the
Arts
in
mind.
This
makes
a
huge
difference
as
someone
that
designs
this
art
design
for
a
living.
BS
Just
think
that
building
it
for
Arts
is
just
going
to
bring
tons
of
foot
traffic
to
the
area
which
we
are
really
lacking,
and
it's
really
going
to
help
the
businesses
blossom
in
a
completely
different
way,
which
is
so
very
much
needed,
because
the
businesses
have
really
been
slowly
dying
over
the
years.
So
I'm
really
thrilled
to
see
the
Arts
come
through.
BS
But
we
have
such
wonderful,
local,
talent
and
I
know
it
takes
a
little
bit
of
work
to
find
them,
but
I
would
be
happy
to
volunteer
to
help
find
those
artists
if
anyone
needs
to
reach
out
I
work
with
them
all
the
time
and
there's
just
so
much
talent
within
Boston
I
hope
that
we
can
showcase
it
in
Fort,
Point
being
one
of
the
oldest
artist
communities
that
is
out
there.
So
again,
thank
you.
You
guys
have
really
come
a
long
way
and
I
very,
very
much
appreciate
it.
BT
Hello
good
evening,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
Bradley
bernatter
I'm,
the
general
director
and
CEO
of
Boston
Lyric
Opera,
our
headquarters
and
studio,
is
located
in
Fort
Point
at
Midway
artist.
Studios
blo
is
a
boston-based
non-profit,
Performing
Arts
company
that
for
nearly
50
years,
has
inspired,
entertained
and
connected
our
community
here
by
producing
operas
Arts
education
and
training
programs
and
a
variety
of
other
public
programming
throughout
Boston,
including
outdoor
performances
like
our
free
outdoor
performance,
performances
of
Romeo
and
Juliet.
BT
On
the
common,
this
past
August
for
nearly
700
members,
sorry
7,
000
members
of
our
community
in
Boston
and
through
our
employment
of
more
than
500
Boston
artists
and
Crafts
People
union
members
and
individuals
each
year.
It's
an
example
of
how
arts
and
culture
is
a
major
economic
engine
for
our
community.
We
enthusiastically
support
the
244
a
street
proposal
and
are
excited
about
what
this
will
do
for
our
community,
specifically
the
commitment
to
artists,
housing,
artist,
workspaces
public
art
projects
and
the
amphitheater
in
particular.
BT
I
feel
the
outcomes
of
this
process
will
set
a
new
Benchmark
and
if
it's,
the
project
is
realized,
it
gives
me
hope
that
the
city
will
continue
to
achieve
other
elements
of
the
100
acres
Open
Spaces
plan.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
our
thoughts.
Boston
Lyric
Opera
strongly
supports
the
proposal
and
are
ready
to
bring
our
resources
to
the
significant
cultural
asset.
Thank
you.
Thank.
BU
That
includes
a
venue
like
the
amphitheater
and
the
Civic
cultural
space.
The
investment
in
both
the
Visual
and
Performing
Arts,
located
in
this
Fort
Point
neighborhood,
in
a
way
that
leverages
the
historical
character
of
neighborhood,
while
modernizing
it
beautifully,
will
transform
the
area
into
a
unique
Center.
BU
That's
not
only
going
to
connect
Broadway,
Street,
neighborhoods
and
the
seaport,
but
provide
a
cultural
and
art
center
better
than
anything
I've
seen
in
my
travels
in
the
U.S
or
around
the
world
also
bringing
out
there
a
diverse
group
of
people
together
to
create
positive,
high
impact
value
and
I
am
fully
supporting
this
initiative.
Thank
you.
BV
I've
stayed
involved
in
the
community
in
various
roles,
including
serving
on
the
f-pac
board
and
I
do
believe
that
it
is
the
most
vital
and
talent
Rich
artist
community
in
the
city
and
I'm,
proud
to
be
a
member,
even
though
I
live
all
the
way
in
Southie.
Now,
over
the
last
couple
of
decades,
the
area
has
changed
dramatically
in
the
fear
that
was
in
the
air
is
that
the
artist
community
in
Fort
Wayne
would
be
erased
and
by
development
and
commerce.
BV
This
project
does
a
lot
to
mitigate
that
concern.
If
it
is
built
as
described,
it
will
be
evidence
that
the
city
both
recognizes
the
importance
of
art
as
an
indispensable
element
of
culture,
that
the
secret
sauce
is
what
I
call
it
and
that
this
particular
neighborhood
with
its
long
history
of
artists
and
art
making
is
indeed
the
epicenter
of
the
Arts
in
New
England,
so
I
applaud
everyone.
Who's
worked
so
hard
to
bring
this
project
to
this
stage,
and
I
proudly
support
its
realization
and
I
hope
you
vote
to
improve
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
BV
BW
Sorry,
just
figuring
out
the
one
new
thing,
no
worries.
Thank
you
all
right
all
right.
Thank
you.
Yes,
I'd
like
to
enthusiastically
support
this
project
and
also
to
a
quad
related
deal
for
their
openness
and
the
feedback
from
both
the
residential
and
the
creative
communities
of
Austin,
which
is
evident
by
the
extent
to
which
they
have
directed
kpf
and
Halverson,
designed
to
thoughtfully
integrate
those
considerations
into
the
planning
and
the
design
of
this
outdoor
performing
arts
and
event
space
along
the
harbor
walk
the
affordable
housing
that
they've
included
is
also
really
incredible.
BW
The
infrastructure
that
they've
provided
for
these
events,
the
support
of
stem
programs,
the
subsidized
cultural
arts
space
that
they'll
also
be
made
available
separately,
but
equally
I'd
like
to
thank
the
bpda
for
actually
incorporating
language
into
the
zoning
that
not
only
acknowledges
but
concretizes.
This
designation
of
this
space
as
a
future
Cultural
Arts
and
Performing
Arts
venue
for
the
city
of
Boston,
as
the
executive
director
for
the
Luminous
Festival
in
Boston
I'm,
excited
to
put
this
this
location
on
our
map
and
the
prospect
it
during
future
Festival.
So
thank
you.
BW
AY
AY
I
definitely
want
to
thank
the
office
of
Mayor
wolf
for
allowing
the
community
to
be
part
of
the
process
and
definitely
what
color
we
are
when
we
call
it
definitely
what
a
congratulations,
an
outstanding
job
on
the
Outreach
to
the
community
and
definitely
taking
this
whole
new
different
level.
Thank.

once
again,
local

representing
electricians

technicians,
I,
just
like
to
Begin
by
by
thanking
Linda
Beal
I,
can't
imagine
it
developed
up
for
over
the
last
10
full
years
since
I've
been
around
that
has
used
our
services
more
than
related
field,
we'd
like
to
thank
them
for
their
support
or
their
continued
support,
and
I
also
like
to
thank
my
fellow
Tradesmen
Congressman
Lynch,
as
well
as
councilor
Flynn,
Senator,
Collins
and
I'd,
also
like
to
say
that
I'm
very
excited
to
hear
the
support
from
the
community.
AZ
It's
not
often
that
we
hear
labor
in
the
community
speaking
of
units.
Thank
you
very
much.
BX
Yes,
hi
I'm,
Kristen,
Malia
I'm,
a
I'm,
a
Midway
resident
I'm,
a
multimedia
artist
and
I,
have
a
graphic
design
practice
I'm.
Also
an
assistant
professor
of
graphic
design
at
Suffolk
University
moving
into
Midway
studios
in
2021,
completely
transformed
my
practice.
It
has
allowed
me
to
work
in
new
ways
to
think
and
make
bigger
to
test
to
install
to
document.
All
of
these
things
are
vital
to
a
working
artist,
things
that
seem
little
like
being
able
to
photograph
and
document.
Your
work
are
actually
huge
for
your
professional
development.
BX
They
impact
your
ability
to
apply
for
shows,
submit
proposals,
promote
your
work,
apply
for
Grants.
A
space
designed
for
artists
understands
this
through
midway's
exhibitions,
committee
I've
been
able
to
connect
with
other
artists
and
work
with
colleagues
to
increase
the
visibility
of
our
gallery
and
the
work
of
artists
who
are
showing
in
our
space.
The
gallery
is
a
way
of
giving
artists
opportunities,
including
artists,
who
don't
necessarily
have
the
privilege
of
living
here
at
Midway
too
I'm
part
of
an
artist
Collective,
and
we
have
members
all
over
the
world.
BX
BX
My
Suffolk
University
graduate
students
secured
a
thesis
show
in
Midway
Gallery
during
a
remote
semester
in
2021,
this
level
of
accessibility
and
visibility
was
invaluable
to
them.
Students
learned
how
to
install
an
exhibit,
promote
it
and
see
their
work,
making
an
impact
beyond
the
classroom.
They
also
benefited
from
on-site
dialogue
with
local
artists
who
were
invigorated
by
this
exchange.
When
we
build
a
neighborhood
with
the
Arts
in
mind
from
the
foundational
level,
we
are
supporting
accessibility,
advancement,
Community
collaboration,
the
neighborhood,
the
live
work,
spaces,
the
public
art
sites,
the
stages,
the
shared
Studios.
BX
All
of
these
are
the
infrastructure
for
a
thriving
artistic
Community.
These
create
a
support
system
that
make
us
better
as
artists,
individually
and
collectively
when
we
Thrive
our
Studios
and
sites,
all
Sites
also
become
a
destination,
whether
I'm
working
on
something
in
my
studio,
hosting
a
client
meeting
inviting
colleagues
to
Open,
Studios
or
coordinating
and
exhibit
it
the
ability
to
do
these
things,
Be,
Inspired,
productive
and
ultimately
successful.
All
of
that's
firmly
rooted
in
this
home
base.
BX
In
this
building
and
the
opportunities
this
space
is
built
to
nurture
half
the
battle
of
being
an
artist
is
securing
the
resources.
You
need
to
do
what
you
are
driven
to
do,
usually
in
the
form
of
space
or
resources
tools,
opportunities
come
from
connection,
not
isolation.
When
you
funnel
Boston's
creative
potential
into
a
neighborhood
that
is
designed
to
support
it,
you
create
an
incredibly
powerful
force
for
this
city.
I'm
excited
about
all
the
ways.
Today's
decisions
will
transform
Us
in
the
near
future.
I
love
this
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
supporting
us.

our
full
support
for
the
244a
student
project,
the
one
being
proposed
here
tonight.
Overall,
we
see
this
proposal
as
one
that
is
designing
possibilities
into
the
infrastructure.
BY
We
believe
that
Performing
Arts
are
integral
to
Wellness
and
a
sense
of
adventure
in
reflection
in
any
healthy
City.
The
work
of
this
proposal
to
integrate
performance
design
through
infrastructure-based
access
is
excellent
and
will
only
only
increase
the
feasibility
flexibility
and
likelihood
of
creative
programming
contributing
to
our
already
vibrant
neighborhood.
BY
This
idea
of
possibilities
and
infrastructure
continues
to
contributes
even
provides
a
basis
for
a
thesis
that
we
might
collectively
check
future
decisions
against
an
openness
of
thought.
A
promise
of
publicly
inclusive
programming,
a
yes,
the
artist,
housing
and
public
artworks
is
a
thesis
we
can
get
these
commitments
outlined
in
this
agreement
in
this
project
and
made
durable
through
the
board
memo.
As
Incorporated
in
the
zoning
statements
are
phenomenal,
meaningful
and
profound
efforts,
ideas
and
ultimately
Partnerships
like
these
are
key
factors
in
sustaining
the
energy
in
the
form
Point
area.
BY
Moreover,
the
inclusive
programming
commitments
to
space,
housing
and
activations
elevates
our
whole
city.
The
possibility
of
programming,
artists
and
creatives
from
around
our
city
of
Fort
Point
is
exciting
and,
as
we
all
know,
the
economic
and
racial
divides
that
exist
demand
Our
intention
to
continue
the
work
of
building
an
equitable
City
with
neighborhoods
that
welcome
all
as
residents
business
owners,
guests,
performers,
practitioners
and,
more
again,
massage
Studios,
based
in
Fort
Point,
strongly
supports
this
project.
Thank
you.

Hi,
my
name
is
Maria
Dunwoody,
my
husband
and
I
live
in
the
seaport.
He
works
at
Amazon
and
I
actually
work
at
Midway
artist
Studios
as
an
Arts
operator
and
part
of
my
job
is
to
support
the
mission
of
the
building,
but
also
part
of
my
job
is
to
do
the
leasing
in
the
building
and
we,
you
know,
I,
take
in
quite
a
few
inquiries
on
either
renting
space,
workspace,
shared
workspace
or
the
work
lifts
face
and
find
myself.
BZ
With
you
know,
what's
going
on,
there
we've
attended
a
lot
of
shows
and
outside
performances.
We
just
attended
the
Opera,
which
was
really
awesome.
This
grandiose
feeling
of
an
Amphitheater
might
feel
grandiose
in
a
way,
but
it
really
I
feel
like
will
put
Boston
sort
of
on
the
map
for
arts
and
culture
and
give
people.
You
know
an
opportunity
to
come
out
and
bring
their
families
and
get
their
kids
away
from
their
phones
and
actually
experience
something.
That's
really
great.
F
F
In
the
good
old
times
when
our
theater
group
started,
there
was
no
shortage
of
performance
spaces
here
in
Fort,
Point
and
Seaport,
because
there
was
plenty
of
unused
space
all
available
for
performances,
but
with
all
the
subsequent
development
groups
like
ours,
became
desperate
for
venues,
especially
the
smaller
groups.
We
moved
from
one
space
to
another
until
we
had
to
venture
out
of
Fort
Point
and
produce
our
programming
elsewhere.
F
We
agree
with
the
the
statement
Steve
Hollinger
made
earlier.
We
are
now
in
support
of
the
project
because
of
the
changes
the
developer
made
based
on
the
community's
suggestions,
and
we
would
like
to
ask
for
all
amendments
to
be
part
of
this
plan
and
record
it
in
detail,
so
the
commitments
become
legally
binding.
F
We
would
like
to
thank
all
who
contributed
to
the
changes
and
in
Improvement
of
this
project,
the
collaborative
process
is
definitely
worth
it,
even
though
it
might
be
painful
at
times,
because,
given
a
little
chance,
Arts
can
be
a
thriving
industry
and
Driver.
If
you
want
to
see
what
a
bit
of
Nature
and
culture
does
for
the
opportunities
and
prices
of
real
estate
visit,
the
neighborhoods
surrounding
the
high
line
or
or
Hudson
River
Park,
when
you
are
next
in
New
York.
Thank
you.
Thank.

Hello,
yes,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
I
am
a
resident
of

I've
been
a
resident
of
Four
Points
since
1977.
CA
CA
There
are
too
many
details
that
I
have
question
marks
around
regarding
level
three
possibly
level
four
lab
space
going
up
in
front
of
my
home
I
think
the
amphitheater
is
great,
although
I
do
think
it's
redundant,
we
have
the
Pavilion
and
I,
don't
know
how
we're
going
to
mitigate
or
or
deal
with
all
these
people
coming
in
and
when
we
have
limited
parking.
I.
Just
don't
believe
this
community
community
can
support
this
sort
of
project.
CA
At
the
moment,
I
I
have
great
misgivings
about
the
quality
of
life
for
a
co-op,
the
first
Co-op
artist,
co-op
in
Boston
and
in
the
nation
and
I,
don't
until
I
see
how
my
building
directly
is
going
to
benefit.
I
cannot
support
this
project.
I
also
have
not
heard
anyone
from
your
team
talk
about
how
you're
going
to
do
folks
with
disability
or
the
elderly
during
the
four
to
eight
six
days
in
the
reconstruction
plan.
Thank
you.

Thank
you,
Ronnie
Raj
Verma.
You
couldn't
meet
yourself.
BC
Ronnie
Raj
Verma,
ibw,
local
103
and
I
just
want
to
take
a
minute
to
speak
in
favor
of
this
project.
I
think
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
neighborhood
and
I
think
it'll
Revitalize,
the
area
and
I
think
it'll
really
help
the
residents
in
that
area.
The
formers
and
the
artists
really
help
grow
and
prosper,
and
honestly,
just
hearing
everyone
speak
in
favor
of
today.
You
know
it's
really
refreshing
really
impactful.
BC
CB
It's
not
indifferent.
It's
not
trying
to
Showcase
itself
as
unique
buildings.
It's
working
with
the
existing
environment
and
the
Heritage
and,
as
you
go
south
on
a
street
towards
Broadway,
the
rich
lost
history
of
Boston's,
original
Iron
Age
is
to
be
discovered.
So
all
this
is
really
Grand
to
see
designers
and
developers.
Listening
to
this
feedback
loop
and
saying
we're
going
to
get
this
right,
we're
going
to
go
the
distance
with
it
and
get
it
right,
so
I'll
stop
now.
Thank
you
very
much
everybody.
Thank
you.
Thank.

Both

support

of
the
improvements
to
the
public

especially
the
cycling

infrastructure
throughout
the
site

on

it
was
basically
all
we
had
down
here
was
electricity

running

so
pretty
much.
It
seemed
a
huge
crazy
growth
over
the

many
many
years
and
I've
sat
in
roughly
on
many
a
meeting
over
the

and
while
the

isn't
perfect,
what
big

I

The
first
letters
of
Rocco
Giuliano
for
the
bpda
board
I
am
a
resident
of
the
249,
a
street
visual
artist
Cooperative,
which
is
directly
across
the
street
from
the
proposed
Channelside
development.
My
name
is
Sarah
249a
and
myself
are
concerned
about
quality
of
life
issues
associated
with
this
project,
most
certainly
during
the
multi-year
construction
period
and
very
likely
continuing.
After
all,
sleep
buildings
are
completed.
BD
I
personally
believe
that
related
Bills
should
be
compelled
to
negotiate
substantial
mitigation
or
compensation
call
on
what
you
will
for
massively
disrupting
our
ability
to
live
and
work,
and
relative
peace.
I
would
also
like
to
see
enforceable
rules
concerning
issues
such
as
noise
levels,
hours
of
work
truck
traffic
and
the
like.
Thank
you
for
considering
my
comments.
Most
sincerely
Rocco
Giuliano
affects
the
Sylvia
stag
Giuliano
to
be
through
the
bpda
board.
I
have
listed
maintained
the
photographic
studio
at
249,
a
street
artist
Co-op
since
2005..
BD
In
fact,
my
portrait
studio
faces
a
street
and
the
past
year
we
have
experienced
disruption
caused
by
construction
on
Neko
Street,
just
the
right
of
244
84,
a
street
and
by
utility
work
to
lay
steam
pipes,
the
lamp
of
a
street.
This
disruption
has
taken
the
form
of
constant
noise
trucks
rumbling
by
starting
at
six
in
the
morning,
and
the
loss
of
an
entire
block
of
Resident
parking.
The
construction
of
a
1.1
million
square
foot
Channel
side
project
will
be
far
more
constructive
and
will
last
for
years.
BD
There
is
no
benefit
to
this
project
that
will
be
worth
the
cost
of
my
business
and
normal
life.
I
will
also
mention
that
over
the
past
few
months,
the
building
has
been
shaking
as
it
would
with
a
mild
earthquake
whenever
a
truck
goes
by.
This
entire
area
is
built
on
a
landfill
with
the
building
on
Pilots.
All
this
proposed
construction
is
a
matter
of
serious
concern
before
approving
this
project.
BD
I
would
hope
that
you
would
require
guarantees
that
the
proponent
will
take
whatever
measures
are
necessary
to
mitigate
the
negative
impact
on
our
building,
livelihoods
and
quality
of
life.

That
is

I
wish
I
could
join
the
call,
but
instead
must

it
from

who
I
have
just

managing
A,
hip-hop
arts
and
pharmacy
residency
to
the
Embassy
in
the
Department
of
State
244-284
a
street
is
a
central
contribution,
if
not
pillar,
to
the
odds
of
in
culture,
landscape
in
four
point:
Greater,
Boston
and
Beyond.
There
are
far
too
many
artists
doing
the
essential,
meaningful
work,
our
communities
need
and
desire,
but
without
the
adequate
resources,
infrastructure
or
standard
of
living
to
continue.
BD
So
this
has
caused
great
artists
that
goes
across
an
area
time
and
time
again
to
relocate
or
stop
practicing
Iran
altogether.
There
is
no
doubt
that
Boston
can't
and
does
produce
phenomenal
artists
generation
after
generation,
but
the
ecosystem
here
is
not
set
up
for
these
artists
to
thrive.
Thus,
the
city
is
not
able
to
retain
the
unquantifiable
yet
almost
quality
of
creative
and
slow
and
Social
Capital
they
hold.
So
we
raise
these
artists
so
that
they
may
Empower
other
ecosystems
outside
of
here.
This
must
change.
I
am
one
of
those
artists
on
a
basic
level.
BD
I
will
live
and
eat
comfortably
and
securely
over
the
next
few
weeks
on
this
odds,

that
I
am
that
I
am
able
to
at

Get
is
get
into
my
art
and
work
at
home
that
qualify
me
for
this
position,
which,
for
me
to
continue,
leaves
me
in
an
uncomfortable
and
unsecured
day-to-day
within
the
Arts
ecosystems
at
home.
This
is
too
large
of
a
discrepancy
for
a
value
that
has
already
been
agreed
upon
improvements,
a
whole
High

at

BD

present
over

I

here
to
give
my
whole

Ac
proposal
by
obvious
focus
is
on
the
amphitheater's
potential
for
Boston's
live
performance
calendar,
but
I
also
want
to
commend
the
Hebrews,
the
virus,
housing,
workspaces
and
public
art
projects.
Celebrity
series
stands
to
bring
its
resources
of
artists
in
its
experience
of
84
years
of
presenting
live
performances
to
this
project.
BD
We
think
the
amphitheater
will
provide
tremendous
opportunity
to
showcase
the
Deep
diverse
pool
of
low
polarities
for
the
benefit
of
all
bostonians
I
particularly
want
to
congratulate
the
city
of
Boston,
Ada
and
related
veal
for
embracing
what
I
think
should
be
a
new
standard
for
including
cultural
facilities
within
commercial
developments.
The
kind

G
I
I
have
one
comment:
I'm
Ted,
landsmark
and
I'm,
not
an
artist,
but
as
some
folks
know,
40
years
ago,
I
lived
illegally
in
an
artist's
loft
space
on
Summer
Street
about
200
yards
from
this
location.
At
a
point
in
time
when
there
were
900
artists
living
illegally
in
the
area
and
I
have
to
say,
as
Congressman
Lynch
did,
that
in
a
number
of
respects.
What
this
development
shows
at
this
point
is
something
that
actually
far
exceeds.
G
Commend
the
development
team
for
doing
this
and
I
particularly
want
to
commend
our
staff
within
the
bpda
for
believing
in
this
and
for
sticking
with
it
and
for
facilitating
many
of
the
conversations
between
artists
and
The
Wider
community
and
the
developers
and
I
want
to
thank
the
elected
officials,
Congressman
Lynch
and
councilor
Flynn
and
Senator
Collins
for
standing
up
for
artists
and
for
culture
and
the
last
one
I'd
make
is
I
want
to
commend
the
designers
for
taking
a
look
at
at
this
site
and
realizing
that
a
wall
is
not
the
only
way
to
protect
the
community
for
Rising
water
that
a
berm
can
be
developed
in
a
way
that
is
aesthetically,
pleasing
and
utilitarian,
and
not
just
an
arbitrary
separation
from
water.
G
P
Just
like
to
add
something
and
thank
you,
Dr
Landmark
I,
appreciate
your
comments,
but
I
was
very
impressed
with
the
solid,
consistent
support
that
you
received
from
your
your
neighbors
down
the
fort
Point
Channel
area,
and
that
was
clearly
a
result
of
your
willingness
to
listen
and
adjust
so
I'm
really
impressed.
I
won't
be
repetitive
because
there
were
so
many
good
things
that
were
brought
out
over
the
last
hour
or
so,
but
fantastic
job.
Thank
you.
Q
Awesome,
thank
you
additional
questions
or
comments
so
before
I
call
a
vote
again
just
want
to
to
reiterate
and
express
sincere
thanks
to
everyone
who
has
contributed
to
to
this
this
process
and
this
outcome
nine
years
ago
actually
like
to
almost
to
the
date
I
I
began
my
Boston
Civic
engagement
Life
as
a
member
of
the
Boston
cultural
Council
and
seven
years
ago,
almost
to
the
day,
I
started
my
journey
here
at
the
bpda
and
I
say
that
just
to
just
to
acknowledge
that
they're
are
hundreds
of
people
who
made
this
happen
today
and
there
wasn't
a
detail
that
didn't
go
unnoticed
and
and
didn't
get
thought
of
and
probably
debated
and
I
think
you
know
with
with
absolutely
you
know.
Q
Q
Development
but
I
think
this
is
probably
has
to
be
the
the
most
proud
that
I've
ever
been.
Q
Of
the
agency
of
our
community,
just
of
like
Humanity
I,
know
that
that's
kind
of
probably
a
little
a
little
out
there.
But
but
this
is
the
you
know,
the
literal
ecosystem
right,
I
think
that
that
is
it's
needed
and
when
it
works,
it's
just
really
beautiful.
So
with
that
I
believe
a
promotion
is
important.

Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
consideration
tonight.
I
have
the
development
team
here
with
me
tonight
to
present
a
project
in
detail
to
answer
any
questions
in
regards
to
the
design
changes.
Any
other
questions
you
may
have
as
well.
I
will
not
turn
it
over
to
Chris
to
talk
about
the
planning
context.
Q
You
Daniel
and
Chris
this
before
before
we
begin
the
part
of
your
presentation.
We
wanted
to
be
I,
want
you
to
offer
up
the
floor
to
to
Congressman
Lynch.
If
he
would
like
to
to
speak
on
this
on
a
matter
before
we,
we
start
reputation.
AF
Well,
thank
you,
chairwoman,
Rojas.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
courtesy
and
I.
I
do
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
heard
on
this
project
as
well
as
I
want
to
thank
you
aboard
Vice
chairman
Monahan,
Mr,
landsmark,
Mr,
Miller
I,
don't
think
I
have
testified
two
projects
in
the
last
10
years,
and
here
I
am
testifying
on
on
two
on
one
night.
So
I
again,
I
appreciate
the
courtesy
by
way
of
background
I've
been
a
long
time
advocate
for
the
maritime
Port
of
Boston.
Both
of
my
grandfathers
worked
in
the
port
of
Boston.
AF
AF
A
former
president
of
the
Iron
Workers
Union
here
in
Boston
I,
also
worked
at
Conley
Terminal
refitting,
the
the
older
cargo
cranes
that
that
are
still
in
operation
today
and
in
full
disclosure
I
have
to
add
that
I
I
offered
direct
testimony
before
the
United
States
Naval
commission,
as
a
sitting
Congressman,
to
enable
the
certification
of
dry
dock
number
three
operated
by
Boston
ship
to
allow
them
to
receive
and
to
Service
United
States
Navy
vessels,
which
is
an
important
it's
the
gold
standard
really
for
for
any
ship
repair
facility,
and
it
has
brought
in
thousands
and
thousands
of
jobs
over
the
course
of
that
certification
process.
AF
This
current
project
is
located
adjacent
deposit
L
and
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
Marine
Park
and,
like
all
neighborhoods
in
Boston,
this
Park
area
has
experienced
the
rebirth
with
with
New
Uses
that
generate
broad
Economic
Opportunity,
and
while
the
city's
commitment
to
Maritime
roots
of
of
the
industrial
park
is
Paramount,
complementary
uses
are
emerging
and
I.
Think
that
is
reflected
in
the
project
that
you're
reviewing
tonight
now
partnering
with
several
non-profit
organizations.
This
project
will
provide
training
and
Workforce
development
space
in
the
building
to
implement
that
mission.
AF
The
non-profits
include
English
for
new
bostonians,
save
the
Harvest
saved
the
bay
and
Ron
Burton,
training,
Village
and
I
expect.
The
list
will
grow
over
time
generally.
The
opportunities
that
were
provided
here
are
essential
for
all
the
city's
residents
to
reap
the
benefits
of
sustained
and
sustainable
development
of
the
port
of
Boston.
And
importantly,
the
project
will
provide
the
entire
Boston
Community,
with
approximately
450
construction,
jobs
and
833
permanent
jobs
that
are
anticipated
through
completion
of
this
project.
AF
I'm
going
to
curtail
my
remarks
because
we've
been
here
a
long
time,
but
but
let
me
just
say
that
the
proponent's
commitment
to
this
new
Transit
service,
which
will
provide
access
to
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
is,
is
really
Visionary
and
it's
something
we've
been
struggling
with
for
a
long
long
time.
AF
You
know
as
long
as
my
involvement
on
the
port
in
the
port
over
the
past
30
years
and
the
the
shuttle
that
they're
putting
in
place
is,
is
really
a
first
step
towards
creating
a
socially
and
economically
sustainable
future
for
all
the
residents
of
Boston.
In
addition
to
the
Social
and
economic
opportunities
presented
by
this
service,
the
proposal
has
the
added
benefit
of
reducing
single
vehicle
trips
to
the
park
and
thereby
improving
air
quality
in
the
critical
area
of
the
city.
AF
This
this
project
is
designed
to
to
Really
directly
support
one
of
the
most
significant
water
dependent
industrial
uses
in
the
South
Boston
designated
Court
area
and
in
Boston
Harbor.
That
is
dry
dock
number,
three
of
which
I
spoke.
It's
one
of
the
few
remaining
100
percent,
truly
Maritime
industrial
uses
remaining
in
the
Marine
Park.
We
compete
with
a
number
of
significant
ports
along
the
Eastern
Seaboard.
We
compete
with
Norfolk,
we
compete
with
Baltimore
and,
of
course,
for
for
Transocean
shipping.
AF
We
compete
with
the
with
the
ports
of
New
York
New
Jersey,
as
well
as
Nova
Scotia.
So,
if
you
think
about
this,
Transocean
shipping
is
probably
one
of
the
most
environmentally
friendly
means
of
Commerce
that
we
have
available
to
us.
Think
about
this.
If,
if
we
don't
sustain
the
court
of
Boston
as
a
a
commercial
Maritime
hub,
that
will
necessitate
thousands,
probably
millions
of
truck
trips
from
New
York
and
New
Jersey
up
into
the
Boston
area,
to
deliver
the
goods
that
we
rely
upon
each
and
every
day
our.
AF
Alternatively,
you
know
trucks
coming
down
from
the
port
of
you
know
Halifax
in
Nova
Scotia.
So
this
is
really
a
a
positive
environmental
project.
In
the
whole
scheme
of
things,
the
project
will
allow
us
to
preserve,
as
I
said,
the
oldest
remaining
industrial
use,
and
it
is
notable
that
Mr
Cronin
is
the
first
owner
to
make
such
a
significant
investment
in
a
dry
dock
in
the
past
50
years
and
I've
been
involved
for
the
past
30..
AF
That
includes
constructing
state-of-the-art
steel,
Works
carpentry
shops
and
electrical
shops
and
partnering
with
vocational
Tech
schools
like
Madison
Park
High,
to
employ
recent
immigrant
Workforce
that
reflects
the
diversity
of
our
city,
just
as
it
has
done
throughout
our
history.
So
for
the
last
30
years,
I've
been
an
advocate
for
the
maritime
Court.
AF
The
port
of
Boston
remains
our
Region's,
most
important
Maritime
connection
to
the
world,
which
will
only
become
more
important
over
time
and
my
greatest
fear
during
this
surge
of
development
along
the
Waterfront
has
been
met
by
converting
Maritime
businesses
into
hotels
and
restaurants
and
high-end
retail
shops.
Will
we
will
effectively
pave
our
Harbor
and
make
it
unusable
for
active
Maritime
use?
Look
looking
out
of
a
hotel
window
at
the
water
is
not
is
not
a
maritime
use.
AF
AF
So
if
Boston
is
to
remain
a
competitive,
Maritime
sport,
a
few
Maritime
Port
project
like
this
must
be
approved
and
sustained.
So
I
ask
you
to
please
approve
this
project
and
support
the
future
of
the
port
of
Boston
again
Madam,
chair
I
want
to
thank
you
for

courtesy
and
allowing
me

in
this
matter.
Thank
you
and
I
yield
back.

Q
You
I
appreciate
you
all
right,
so
a

You
may
now
begin
your
company.
AH

I
think
it's
Chris

It's
Guided
by

update,
which
is

as
well
as

The
update
also
provides
important
guidance
on
how
to
balance

Mr

Mr,
Miller,
secret
Weymouth,

Jameson
and
all
BPA
staff

My
name
is
John
Cronin
I'm
happy
to
be
here
to
present
our
project
to
you
once
again.
CE
CE
So
a
lot
has
happened
in
the
last
four
years
since
the
city
put
out
an
RFP
back
in
2018
and
if
I
may
I
just
like
to
take
a
couple
of
minutes
to
to
share
where
what
got
us
here
today
back
in
18,
it
was,
we
thought,
a
brilliant
strategy
by
the
city
when
they
partnered
the
winning
RFP
respondents
for
24,
dried
up
which
which
we
won,
the
the
RFP
bid
and
they
partnered
us
with
Austin
Ship
Repair
to
save
the
shipyard
and
that
Shipyard
has
been
there
and
it's
dried
up
for
over
a
century
and
as
we
got
to
know
it,
you
know
we
had
nothing
but
respect,
admiration
for
the
business,
the
infrastructure,
the
place,
the
people,
the
history.
CE
It
was
amazing,
as
we
got
to
understand
what
was
there
shortly
after
our
initial
meeting
with
the
BSR.
We
spoke
with
the
CEO
at
Snyder,
who
had
been
left
25
years
and
Bruce
Daniel
will
be
speaking
a
little
in
a
little
while
in
Seattle,
and
they
approached
us
about
potentially
buying
the
business,
because
the
current
owner,
which
was
a
private
Equity
Group,
were
considering
closing
the
doors
we
did.
CE
CE
One
of
the
most
critical
components
of
our
proposal
was
including
a
number
of
very
important
Partnerships
we've
included
three
non-profits
who
will
share
space
within
our
building.
They
are
the
collectively
the
Ron
Burton
training,
Village,
save
the
Harvest
saved
the
bay
and
English
for
new
bostonians
as
Congressman
refer
to
and
between
them.
They
work
with
thousands
and
thousands
of
young
people
every
year
from
within.
Boston
is
very
vulnerable
communities
and
we're
really
we're
honored
to
have
them
as
partners
with
us
in
this.
CE
CE
So
it's
a
it's
two-way
street
and
when
we're
really
proud
of
that
partnership
as
we're
going
through
the
process
with
the
city,
we
were
a
little
concerned
at
the
time
about
that
the
administration
changes
and
that
we
might
lose
some
momentum,
but
in
partnership
with
May
Wu
and
the
people
that
she
charged
with
getting
this
done,
we
really
didn't
miss
a
beat.
You
know
we.
CE
While
the
city
proposes
Innovative
development
strategy
that
is
designed
to
sustain
the
shipyard,
it's
it's
really
very
complicated
and
it's
a
complex
process
and
there
was
a
lot
to
it
and
has
taken
us
a
while
to
get
here.
But
it
took
an
awful
lot
of
time
and
effort
from
the
bpda
staff
and
from
the
team.
That's
working
in
the
city
with
our
team
and
the
BSR
team,
a
lot
of
trusts,
a
lot
of
commitments
and
it
really
I'd.
CE
Like
to
emphasize
how
much
work
and
talk
on
the
city
to
be
hard
to
get
this
done
and
we're
delighted
we
all
stuck
with
it,
we
never
gave
up
and
we
succeeded
in
getting
to
this
to
today
again.
Thank
you,
mayor,
Wu,
a
big
thanks
to
congresswoman
Lynch,
who,
like
you
mentioned
both
of
his
grandfathers,
made
a
living
on
South,
Boston
waterfronts
as
a
union
iron
worker.
CE
Like
my
father
and
myself,
back
in
Ireland
Congressman
Lynch,
he
worked
on
those
giant
cranes
across
the
dot
there
at
County
terminal
and
he
continues
to
fight
for
the
working
men
and
women
of
the
shipyard
throughout
his
district.
He
knows
first
time
the
importance
of
these
jobs
and
the
importance
of
this
industry
to
our
economy,
to
our
national
security,
also
like
to
thank
our
state,
Partners
Senator,
Collins,
representative
Bill,
along
with
Governor
Baker,
lieutenant
governor
Polito
and
all
the
Regulators
of
the
dep
czm
and
mipa
thanks
to
councilor
Murphy's,
Council,
Murphy
and
Warren.
CE
For
your
help
and
special
thanks
go
to
the
local
councilors
city,
council,
Michael,
Flaherty
and
city
council
president
Ed
Flynn
has
continued
and
historic
support
has
been
amazing
and
you
know
it's
his
dad.
You
know
the
former
mayor
who
has
graciously
lent
his
name
to
the
Marine
Park,
but
as
you'd
expect
an
asset
like
this
infrastructure
like
this
is
crucial
and
endangered
as
the
write-up
is,
and
while
we
hopefully
we
get
to
celebrate
a
little
bit
today.
We're
not
done.
CE
CE
CE
So
even
with
these
most
recent
economic
headwinds,
our
vision
is
that
the
most
Advanced
Technologies
now
on
the
planet
which
are
employed
within
the
Boston
lifetime
sector.
This
life
science,
Community
they'll,
help
to
breathe
life
and
pull
the
shipyard
into
its
next
iteration.
The
Justice
position
on
these
two
things
side
by
side,
leaning
on
each
other,
is
something
that
really
happens
in
business.
It
really
happens
in
life,
but
I
think
we
have
a
really
unique
opportunity
here
to
combine
these
two
uses
sort
of
sustain
the
shipyard
and
hundreds
of
great
paying
Union
work.
CE
We
couldn't
be
more
proud
or
thankful
to
all
of
you,
as
I
said,
especially
that
bpda
staff
that
really
put
their
shoulders
to
the
wheel
and
we're
really
making
a
this
a
reality
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
off
the
Bruce
Samuel
who's,
the
CFO
of
partnership
prepared
just
to
give
it
a
little
additional
insight
into
what
actually
happens
down
at
the
shipyard
and
the
future
what
the
future
holds
for
all
of
us.
Thank
you.
CF
CF
I,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
this
project
and
what
it
means
to
Boston
chip
repair.
My
name
is
Bruce
Sunol
I've
been
the
CFO
at
Boston
shift
fair
for
over
13
years
now,
and
I
personally
experienced
three
changes
of
ownership
for
more
than
a
decade.
Now
the
challenge
is
at
the
shipyard
at
the
shipyard
faces
continue
to
increase
in
growth.
CF
CF
Creating
more
Union
Shipyard
jobs
faces
a
significant
investment
in
a
long-term
Outlook
and
there's
very
few
that'll
take
on
that
risk.
So
the
key
with
our
business
is.
It
starts
with
consistent
work
for
the
shipyard,
something
that
we've
not
been
able
to
maintain.
So
we
can't
build
our
large-skilled
communion
Workforce
without
consistent
work.
We've.
S
CF
CF
The
other
critical
change
was
when
John
Cronin,
we
met
John
crowden
and
he
took
an
immediate
interest
in
Saving
the
shipyard
and
ensuring
that
we'd
be
able
to
operate
in
the
future.
From
the
moment
John
purchased,
Boston's
Shipyard
his
Focus
has
been
on
understanding
the
challenges
of
the
business
and
more
important
is
figuring
out
how
to
find
a
solution
to
mitigate
them,
specifically
how
we
maintain
our
current
union
jobs
and
just
as
an
important
how
we
create
and
expanding
School
College
jobs
at
the
shipyard
in
the
future.
CF
CF
For
example,
we
currently
subcontract
out
of
a
200
Blue
Collar
jobs
to
out
of
towns
contractors.
These
are
welders,
machinists
painters.
These
are
great,
paying
six
figure,
Blue
Collar
jobs
that
are
going
outside
of
Boston,
and
we
subcontract
them
out
because
we
don't
have
the
skilled
work
voice
in-house
to
do
the
work.
On
top
of
that,
the
shipyard
is
typically
only
full
about
half
the
year,
so
we
could
easily
double
those
numbers
and
get
consistent
work.
CF
So
I'm
just
going
back
to
my
original
point,
carefield,
don't
work
for
us
without
consistent
work.
We
can't
get
consistent
work
without
a
significant
investment
in
labor
and
facilities,
and
that's
why
this
project
is
so
critical
to
the
shipyard
in
its
Workforce.
It
modernizes
the
facilities
and
it
will
allow
us
to
competitively
dig
projects
going
forward
which
will
result
in
consisting
and
additional
work.
I
will
give
you
a
perfect
example
that
we
kind
of
already
mentioned.
We've
started
a
partnership
with
Madison
Park
School.
CF
They
will
actually
be
on
site
Monday
for
for
another
site
visit,
we're
developing
a
program
that
we
believe
will
continually
produce
producing
any
skilled
jobs
from
the
students
in
other
programs
run
by
Madison
Park.
This
is
a
perfect
match
for
the
shipyard
because
we
desperately
need
to
create
a
pipeline.
A
new
generation
of
skilled
workers
and
Madison
Park
has
the
Bright
Young
students
that
would
benefit
tremendously
from
this
opportunity.
CF
It's
critical
that
we
make
sure
the
shipyard
has
consistent
work
to
make
sure
this
opportunity
and
partnership
flourishes
for
Generations
24
dry
dock
project
is
the
only
project.
I
can
accomplishment
accomplish
this
specifically
for
the
shipyard,
which
is
why
we're
very
thankful
to
the
city
for
supporting
our
efforts
and
vision
such
a
unique
opportunity,
which
will
have
a
tremendous
impact
on
our
Union
Workforce
for
years
to
come.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
discuss
our
Shipyard
and
I
would
like
to
turn
it
over
right
now
to
Alberto
Cardenas
to
present
the
project
to
the
board.

really
appreciate

hard
work
that
you
know.
The

have
put
into

I
think
I
I
missed
KC,
Hines

on

as
well,

really
has
been
fantastic
work
with

you.

you

hearing.
Do
we
have
anyone
that
would
like
to
testify.
X
X
I'd
like
to
make
three
key
points
in
support
of
this
project.
First,
this
project
demonstrates
a
commitment
to
strengthening
the
language
skills
of
non-native
speakers
with
an
Innovative
and
free
program,
partnership
with
English
for
New
Boston
here,
which
will
support
some
of
our
over
2
000
credit
employees
and
others
with
high
quality,
English
classes
and
networking
opportunities
in
the
city.
X
Second
I
believe
this
project
includes
a
truly
Innovative
proposal
to
connect
opportunities
in
the
court
to
Inland
to
public
views
of
color
by
the
Nubian
shuttle,
which
takes
a
dramatic
step
to
making
the
seaport
even
more
accessible
and
inclusive.
In
addition
to
employee
transportation,
the
shuttle
service
also
has
the
potential
to
connect
Youth
and
families
to
free
programs,
events
and
water
transportation.

the
increased
public

the
improved

platforms,
the
many
amenities

all
the
enhancements
that
this
investment
will
bring
will
not
only
benefit
the
city

AY
AZ
Yes,
Madam
members
of
the
board
Madam
Secretary
director
Jemison,
once
again:
Gary
Walker
local
103,
representing
electricity
technicians,
first
off
I,
just
like
to
thank
John
Cronin,
not
only
for
the
jobs
in
standing,
but
also
with
the
Japanese
Creator.
Thank
you
so
much.
AP
Yes,
how
you
doing
may
I
through
the
chair
and
I,
appreciate
thanks
I
appreciate
all
your
time,
so
I'm
I'm,
the
president
of
shipbuilders,
Local
25.
Apparently
my
family's,
been
in
this
industry.
Repairing
and
building
ships,
since
World,
War,
II
and
probably
before
and
Congress
and
Stephen
Lynch
has
been
nothing
but
a
support
to
us
our
whole.
Since
this
whole
candidacy
and
I
want
to
thank
him
for
that.
AP
But
we
have
a
historical
Waterfront
here
and
if
we
eliminate
these
jobs,
we're
losing
Blue
Collar
jobs,
who
are
making
good
money
and,
like
Bruce,
said
earlier,
they're
making
six
digit
numbers,
you
know,
and
it's
just
we
need
to
maintain
these
jobs.
We
can't
eliminate
now,
not
only
because
if
you
eliminate
the
shipyard
generally,
the
fishing
people,
you're
gonna,
eliminate
everything.
AP
I
mean
not
only
that
from
England
to
the
United
States.
We
have
the
largest
Dry
Dock
in
a
direct
group
1250
feet
long.
So
if
there's
a
National
Emergency,
we
could
put
a
one
of
the
largest
navy
ships
in
that
dock
and
we'll
get
it
fixed.
And
it's
just.
We
just
need
to
maintain
a
good
blue
collar
job
in
Boston
and
not
worry
about
hotels
and
skyrises.
We
just
need
to
maintain
this
Dry
Dock
make
it
work
for
us
in
a
hole,
but
thank
you
for
the
chair.
That's
all
I
have
to
say.
CI
Hi,
can
you
you
hear
me
yep.
We
can
hear
you.
Okay,
thank
you.
Sorry,
I'm,
sorry,
green
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
English
for
new
bostonians
and
just
want
a
quick
say,
we're
we're
really
pleased
that
this
proposal
is
moving
forward.
We've
been
a
partner
with
the
Cronin
group.
Since
2019
we
began
offering
English
classes
with
with
the
Cronin
group
in
the
beginning
of
2020
and
obviously
had
to
shut
down
just
weeks
into
the
program.
But
with
the
perseverance
of
the
Conan
group,
we
were
the
leadership.
CI
We
became
the
only
ESL
provider
in
Massachusetts
to
restart
workplace
English
classes
due
to
their
perseverance,
and
we
were
able
to
run
remotely
through
the
pan
through
the
first
year
of
the
pandemic,
and
in
those
early
weeks
we
got
Chromebooks
out
and
groceries
that
were
provided
by
the
Cronin
group.
That
will
ultimately
be
a
benefit
to
the
employees
and
to
help
the
company
really
survive
through
that
time
and
22
months
later,
35
employees
had
completed
the
training,
and
the
corona
group
now
has
an
application
pending
to
continue
operating
English
classes.
CI
So
we're
you
know,
we're
really
pleased
to
see
the
that
the
developing
24
dry
dock
it
has
that
commit
it
will
commit
to
having
providing
us
with
a
permanent
training
space
for
workers
and
community
members,
which
would
include
certainly
employees
of
the
Chrono
group,
but
not
limited
to
the
to
them
and
I.
CI
Think
that,
for
me,
this,
you
know
for
me
and
for
our
organization
I,
think
that
the
the
chipping
away
at
some
of
the
isolation
and
the
separation
that
and
the
you
know
the
the
lack
of
diversity
and
the
lack
of
geographic
and
economic
accessibility
for
the
in
the
seaport
to
many
communities,
especially
communities
of
color,
that
this
proposal
really
begins
to
address
that
it
will
not
solve
it.
It
will
begin
to
it
really
takes
a
step
in
addressing
it.
CI
So
I
urge
your
your
your
passage
and
we're
pleased
to
continue
partnering
with
the
Cronin
group.
Thank
you.
Thank.

John
has
been
so
involved
in
so
many
good
things
in
our
community,
not
just
supporting
them
by
writing
a
check,
but
getting
involved
with
some
of
the
non-profits
finding
out
what
they
do
and
say
hey.
Maybe
maybe
we
can
do
this
better,
raising
the
bar,
but
really
getting
involved,
I've
been
so
impressed
by
John
and
his
team
and
create
a
tremendous
number
of
jobs
over
the
years.
This
is
a
complicated
project.
It'll
be
expensive
and
I.
P
Think
somebody
withdrawn
the
background.
Every
engagement
I've
had
with
John
he
over
Deliverance
on
his
promises
and
again
this
is
expensive.
It's
complicated,
but
the
working
Port
is
really
vital
to
Boston
so
really
comfortable
with
John
Cronin
in
his
group,
so
wanted
to
add
that
before
we
closed
out
the
meeting,
thank
you.
A
And
I'm
sure
I
have
a
couple
of
comments.
Congressman
Lynch,
eloquently
and
passionately
spoke
about
the
benefits
that
came
from
it,
not
only
his
personal
family
working
down
there,
but
what
we
could
possibly
have
in
the
future
wasn't
mentioned
is
how
tenacious
he
was
about.
A
A
year
ago,
the
1.2
trillion
bipartisan
infrastructure
law
Stephen
was
adamant
and
tenacious
to
get
17
billion
dollars
out
of
that
1.2
to
go
directly
to
its
poor
infrastructure
and
Water
waste
and
and
with
his
relationships
working
across
the
aisle
like
I
said
that
was
a
that
was
a
bipartisan
passed
bill.
A
What's
been
what's
been
happening
around
and
I
think
most
people
know
my
regular
job
is
work
as
wage
benefits,
working
conditions
and
what's
been
happening
in
the
last
I'd
say
probably
25,
30
40
years
is
that
there's
no
jobs
left
the
Boston
gas
company.
People
would
go
there
and
go
out
going
to
college
and
they
could
raise
their
family
and
they'd
lift
a
good
middle
class
life.
Boston
Edison,
New,
England
telephone,
the
none
of
the
names
have
changed,
but
the
Boston
Local
Union
of
Verizon
has
one
employee.
A
That's
under
40
years
old
and
these
these
places
just
do
not
exist
anymore.
Charlestown
may
be
at
the
floor
of
a
shipyard
Boston
gear.
There
were
places
where
people
could
go
to
work
and
make
a
living
without
going
to
college.
So
all
that's
left
is
the
Building
Trades
I
might
be
corrected
on
that,
but
for
the
most
part,
it's
it's
the
building
trade,
where
you
can
still
go,
make
a
decent
living,
raise
a
family
and
do
good
hard
work,
those
other
those
other
places.
They're
gone,
it's
all
subbed
out
and
it's
it's
a
shame.
A
What's
happened.
We
have
an
opportunity
here.
You
have
you
have
the
17
billion
you
have
an
owner
like
John
Cronin,
who
most
people
in
his
shoes
will
be
looking
to
take
the
place
to
Louisiana,
not
make
it
work
in
a
high-wage
benefit
area
like
like
so
hostel.
So
we
have
to
do
everything
we
possibly
can.
If
we
are
going
to
save
that
and
hopefully
make
it
a
functional
Ship
Repair
like
it
was,
if
it's
the
chicken
egg,
they
can't,
they
can't
do
military
contracts
right
now,
unless
it's
an
emergency,
because
the
place
is
dilapidated.
A
A
I'm,
obviously
in
favor
of
the
project,
but
we
have
a
huge
opportunity
with
an
owner
and
and
with
there's
a
lot
of
work
coming
with
this
type
of
work,
with
the
renewable
energy
stuff,
winter
and
and
so
and
so
forth.
So
those
are
just
by
comments
and
well
obviously
in
favor
of
it.
Q
Fabulous
additional
questions
or
comments
well,
I
think
I,
maybe
spoke
too
soon.
I
think
like
of
you
know,
I'll
say
this
has
just
been
that's
an
amazing
meeting
and
just
Kudos
again
to
everybody
involved
and
and
really
making
the
Investments
needed
to
sustain
our
Industries
and
our
communities
I'm
as
a
as
a
student
of
the
sea
and
a
real,
proud
DIA
to
a
an
apprentice
so
hopefully,
hopefully
we'll
start
to
to
get
more
young
people
in
apprenticeship,
programs
and
and
in
these
these
traits.
Q
It's
it's
how
you
know
it's
how
my
family
has
and
and
continues
to
you
know,
to
survive
and
thrive.
So
I'm,
overjoyed
and
honored
to
to
ask
for
a
motion.
T

a

C
Hi
we
have
a
two
items
for
your
consideration
tonight
on
the
bra
agenda,
with
the
exact
details
included
in
the
board
memos.
There
are
two
appointments
in
the
director's
office:
Carolyn,
vanas
transformation
manager
and
Kevin
Crossley
transformation
project
manager.
Thank
you.
Q
CL
Good
evening
and
board
members,
thank
you
for
your
hard
work
tonight.
It's
it's
a
long
one,
but
we
got
to
hear
and
see
some
great
stuff.
CL
CL
The
total
developers
cost
estimate
was
about
one
point:
five
billion
dollars
worth
of
development
and
they
represent
1.7
million
square
feet.
When
constructed
they
will
put
a
price
only
1600
trades
people
to
work
Brigade
over
2
800,
direct
jobs
and
862
indirect
jobs,
critical
for
our
economy.
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
a
few
items
today.
Obviously
I
think
you
just
finished
right
out
what
a
great
a
great
project
to
highlight.
I
did
want
to
go
on
a
couple
of
others,
however,
that
were
of
great
interest.
CL
So
your
adoption
tonight
of
what
we
call
Wacker
Z
or
the
Western
Avenue
Corridor
study
and
rezoning.
It's
a
significant
boost
to
the
Alston
Brighton
neighborhood.
The
planning
initiative
will
finally
inappropriately
address
development
pressure
and
transmission
challenges
in
the
former
industrial
Corridor
that
allow
the
area
to
become
more
vibrant
people-centric
and
multimodal
the
culmination
of.
AM
CL
Years
of
hard
work
by
our
staff
and
I
want
to
congratulate
them
on
their
efforts.
Among
other
many
others,
Kathleen's
presentation
today
showed
the
kind
of
a
team
that
got
along
with
Joe
and
others
who
lives
in
Project.
Forward
final
plan
incorporates
feedback
from
the
community
as
well
as
many
city
of
state
agencies,
and
their
vision
is
one
that
support
the
western
African
Corridor
that
promotes
more
housing,
job
opportunities
and
supports
retail
and
creative
Industries
active
sidewalks,
open
space
and
improved
Transportation.
CL
Most
importantly,
it
offers
a
framework
for
development
in
this
area
which
hopefully
create
a
more
predictable
process
for
the
community.
It's
important
to
mention
that
initiatives
like
this,
which
combine
bringing
forward
a
predictable
framework
for
development
in
the
future,
with
actions
that
enable
development
to
go
forward
are
a
crucial
part
of
the
work
we're
doing
right
now.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
planning
item.
First,
in
that
spirit,
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
something.
We
spend
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
244
a
street
I
want
to
congratulate
the
development
team.
CL
The
way
to
deal
along
with
all
of
their
development
team
members
and
I
want
to
go
and
congratulate
the
community.
I
think
you
know
you
heard
and
saw
the
influence
and
work
of
many
people,
including
the
Midway
art,
artist,
Studios
and
four
point.
Our
Arts
voices
really
populated
the
positive
comments
in
a
great
way
tonight
and
that's
a
result
of
the
hard
work
of
this
development
team
over
the
past
a
few
years
to
put
together
a
great
project
that
really
represents
a
lot
of
things
coming
together.
CL
Everything
from
resilience
to
the
Arts
to
the
affordable
housing
aspect
of
maintaining
the
Arts
to
design
of
both
the
buildings
and
open
space.
So
I
think
we're
very
excited
about
that
when
it's
going
to
make
significant
commitments
to
public,
open
space,
Civic
and
cultural
space
and
the
community
to
stimulate
the
local
economy
and
it's
going
to
be
include
a
new
Fort
Point,
Channel
Park
on
site
and
as
well
as
a
flood
protection,
a
number
of
other
great
elements
and
it's
going
to
importantly,
include
affordable
housing
of
those
units.
CL
75
percent
of
your
dedicated
parts
of
the
workspace
and
housing
win
for
the
community
at
Fort
Point
we're
thrilled
to
be
able
to
see
it
through
here
tonight.
It's
an
example
of
just
about
all
the
elements
of
equity,
affordability
and
resilience
that
we're
seeking
in
our
work
today
and,
of
course,
it's
going
to
be
hopes
to
Residents
and
life
science.
Tenants
who
are
going
to
help
keep
us
on
The,
Cutting
Edge,
so
we're
thrilled
to
see
that
happen.
I
want.
AO
O
CL
Visioning
consultant
that
we've
hired
tonight
or
that
we've
begun
the
process
of
hiring
tonight
the
highway.
The
agency
is
going
to
be
issuing
an
RP
for
the
design
of
vision
consultant
to
help
us
achieve
the
mayor's
vision
of
creating
more
human
scale
and
inclusive
built
environment
across
the
city.
The
RP's
going
to
give
us
the
tools
to
develop
holistic
design
vision
and
the
plan
right
now
is
to
select
the
consultant
by
the
end
of
this
year
and
we're
study
with
them
in
the
community
over
the
next
nine
months,
plenty
of
robust
Community
process.
CL
CL
I
want
to
highlight
I,
guess
the
last
couple
of
items
here
there
was
a
another
vote
that
was
taken
today,
giving
us
a
six-month
residency
grace
period.
I
wanted
to
touch
on
this
policy
to
allow
this
period
for
new
hires
to
move
into
the
city.
This
move
is
going
to
allow
us
to
widen
our
pool
with
potential
candidates
and
we
hope
it
will
help
us
staff
up
more
quickly,
attract
great
talent
and
recruit
diverse
candidates,
all
critical
elements
that
yeah
it's
a
big
successful
in
tackling
the
greatest
challenges
of
today.
CL
It's
all
what
you've
seen
in
the
projects
approved
tonight
at
Brazilian,
affordability
and
equity.
We
plan
to
pile
this
over
the
next
year
and
then
reassess
the
the
processes.
Effectiveness
I
want
to
thank
the
board
for
approving
this
policy
and
trusting
us
to
to
use
it
wisely
and
again.
I
think
we
all
had
a
great
chance
to
hear
about
24th
redox
very
recently,
so
I
won't
repeat
any
of
that.
CL
I
do
want
to
say
thanks
to
the
board
again
for
what
was
a
important
and
but
long
meeting
and
for
again
their
diligence
and
thoughtfulness
of
the
throughout
the
hearing
tonight
and
the
most
important
thank
the
BPA
staff
for
the
hard
work
in
bringing
these
items
forward
and
the
discussion.
It
was
great
to
be
with
you
in
the
Francis
these
last
this
last
month
on
some
very
exciting
development.
So
we
pass
it
back
to
you
chair,
so
thank
you
so
much.
Q
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
everybody
and
it
has
been
a
pleasure
on
behalf
of
the
board.
It's
been
a
pleasure
to
to
serve
everyone
tonight.
Just
good
stuff,
but
I
believe
emotion,
is
important.
I
need
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
meeting
at
bedtime.
